Bandelier National Monument: Exhibit 54, Garden Diorama

This diorama (finished size = approx. 90"H x 70.5"W x 70.5"D) is meant to represent agricultural practices of the ancient Pueblo people in Frijoles canyon. The base model (produced by Color-Ad, Inc.) shows a boy and a man planting a waffle garden on the canyon floor with cavates (cliff dwellings) cut into the canyon wall in the background. My job was to create a two-sided mural that tied into the model which would give a sense of the canyon receding into the background. I painted the mural at half-size without the use of the base model or mannequins.
