cherp mural athena hahn - ATHENA H HAHN ART

I usually try ideas for the first time on the wall in paint.

Once I know I want to make several of something, I usually hand cut a stencil to get the basic shape on the wall.

I noticed one of the suns rays looked like a wedge, like it was lifting off the wall.

You never know what you will need when you are 20ft in the air.

If the subject is energy, and everything in the universe is a form of energy, then anything can be included in representing that energy.

Its getting a little easier, to get the sort of low relief dimension I am looking for.

Whew what a year!

images and a little story I made up, to help myself understand how energy moves from the sun into the world. these images developed into banner images now hanging at the first cherp-lgp factory in pomona, ca.
