Mona Caron - Weeds
They may be tiny yet they push through concrete. They are everywhere and yet unseen. But the more they get stepped on, the stronger they grow back.
This is a series of hidden mural paintings of weeds, created as a tribute to all those renegade beings who, like weeds, no one made room for, were not part of the plan, and yet keep coming back, pushing through and rising up. I paint each weed gradually from bottom up in tiny increments, photographing each stage. With the resulting photos, I'm creating a series of short animated movies of giant weeds asserting their presence in a precarious environment.
This project is in progress. Stay tuned as it develops: join my Facebook page for future updates, and please contact me if you would like to host a weed, or would like to contribute in any way to this multimedia experiment.
