International Domestic Violence Memorial Project Info:
“Give me where to stand, and I will move the earth.” – Archimedes (287 BC – 212 BC), 300 B.C.
The Domestic Violence Memorial is a community-based project to commemorate victims have been murdered and those that have survived the trauma of domestic violence. Each panel would tell the story of victim or survivor in such a way that would draw more attention to the plight of victims worldwide.
Artists and victims would be paired together to create individual hand crafted paintings for each panel of a mural mosaic using the talents from the Mural Mosaic team in St. Albert Canada, a world renowned group of artists. By first creating a master image and theme, each panel would be designated to a particular artist with a set of guidelines as per the color and shapes to be used. Each piece would then be transferred to panels of glass, mounted in its final form and put together to create the final master image.
Once the masterpiece is finished the memorial would be go on tour to various prominent museums and public locations before being installed on its final location as a permanent display.
