Artist Statement: This project is a love letter to Davie Village and the West End. It’s a visual celebration of a community with enough heart to embrace all aspects of the diverse rainbow that resides in Vancouver. The piece is heavily influenced by the early work of John Waters and features drag icon Divine. My goal was to create a mural that embodies flamboyance, outrageousness and celebration, with a gentle nod to our history. I wanted to create an anecdote about embracing individuality and authenticity. Like queer culture, love is fluid, limitless and selfless-it can never truly be defined.
