Statement

This mural is a number of small murals hung together to explain the taconite mining process for the Wadena Alley Arts Project. It hangs on the exterior of a tall brick building in downtown Wadena, near to other Alley Arts murals. In total it took about 3 weeks to complete and is about 60'x8' but in an unconventional configuration. It is in sepia tones to match the feel of the era and client wishes.
