OUTSIDE THE LINES: A COURT MURAL PROJECT

OUTSIDE THE LINES COURT MURALIST: SARAH JIM
Here on the coast, the W̱SÁNEĆ people have known that the land, sea, and sky are all intimately interconnected. The land gives nutrients to the sea and the moon guides the tides. This design emulates those beliefs.
OUTSIDE THE LINES COURT MURALIST: EMILY THIESSEN
I wanted to come up with a design that riffs on the 3x3 court lines and also reflects the beauty of where we live on Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ territories.
When I visited the pop-up court site I still wasn't sure what that would be. As I was about to leave a hawk started circling the trees and gave me my answer.
