How did you make this work:
I was commissioned to paint a mural on a 45m disused industrial chimney - to celebrate five key eras in Bulgaria's cultural history. I painted the mural using rope access techniques. I enjoyed the challenge of composing 28 figures on the unusual 3-dimensional shape while allowing for perspective distortions, and researching the clothes and artefacts for each era.
