smudge is a proud recipient of a 002025 KINDLING FUND research grant.
REAL PLACES MAINE is a research project toward the creation of site-responsive, large poster-murals to be installed on the exteriors of abandoned buildings at several locations across Maine. Sites and buildings will be studied and selected for how they inspire and invite creative responses to their highly specific environmental, social, and historical contexts and conditions. The research will also test mural materials viability, i.e. non-toxic inks, weather-proofing, compostable paper-fabric, and methods for attaching poster-murals to buildings in a non-permanent, non-destructive way. The project’s ultimate aim is to create and display image-sensations of “belonging” and “place-ness” within Maine landscapes, built and natural.
