Alberta Foothills Morning

The artist uses both overhead and side perspectives to show off the mural's subjects: farm fields with tractor tracks are seen from overhead, while a cart, cows, shafts of wheat, oil derricks, and mountains are seen from the side. These subjects are made from textured slabs of clay, and are suitable for viewing close-up or from a distance. This mural, which weighs over 8000 kg (17 000 lbs) and measures 3.35 x 4.88 m (11 x 16 feet), is believed to be one of the first ceramic murals made in Calgary. It was commissioned by the Municipal District of Rocky View for its Calgary office, and was originally built into a wall on a building on 16th Avenue NE. When the building had to be demolished as part of the widening of 16th Avenue in 2005-2006, the mural was carefully relocated to its current home at the North Mount Pleasant Arts Centre.
