"Sounding the Land is a 360-degree mural inspired by an initiative to reforest parks in New Westminster with native plants and tree seedlings. Huckleberry bushes (sqw’ukwcusulhp), red elderberry (th’iwuq’ulhp), salal (t’eqe’ulhp), spirea (t’ec’ulhp), cedar (xhpey’ulhp) and salmonberry (lila’ulhp) reclaim space in the image. The design follows the path of the sun: rising near the east end of the container and progressing to the peachy glow of golden hour on the west end. The forest painted on the south facing wall dims at dusk. The sound waves emitting from the bird and the brass instruments speak to who and what fill the park: people, plants, animals and sounds. The waves highlight the tension and the balance required for shared public space, whether it be the physical environment or the many different sounds that fill the air.
