As part of Calgary Expo 2014, the organizers asked me to build 3 pieces live on site. This led to a lot of thought about what the images should be. We wanted to lean towards things related to the Expo, and knowing that Fiona Staples would be signing at Expo, it seemed a perfect fit (Fiona is also a Calgarian!). I found an image that had a lot of bright colors, and it was off to the races.

We used the “secret mosaic” technique, having members of the crowd build small squares of the mosaic and then adding them to the piece. Once completed, the piece was graciously signed by Fiona, and auctioned off in the Charity Auction at Calgary Expo.
