Blissful Bees, relief-printing on polytab, 2024, Meadville, PA on the exterior of Blissful Meads.
Blissful Bees represents the hardworking and diverse community of Meadville. It was created by hand carving and printing over 400 pieces of polytab, a cloth-like material often used for murals. The handmade nature of the printing process is meant to mirror Meadville's history of tool and die forging. Each piece of printed polytab was carefully placed next to one another to create the larger final image. Though polytab is a lightweight flexible material, the mural is as permanent as any painted mural and should last for years.
