Great White Shark

Portion of a full wall mural featuring a variety of different types of sharks - focus is a great white

Location: north side of Hooters, NW corner of John and Adelaide
Date photo taken: 20 June 2019

This is a small section of a mural that covers the north wall of 280 Adelaide St. W. The entire piece is dedicated to sharks. This is my favourite bit, in part because of the lovely light effects on the great white, but also because of the hook. I really appreciate it when artists take structural elements that are in the way and find ways to creatively incorporate them. In this case, the tangle of wire becomes fishing line. 

This mural was a project by Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans, which is a public art program by the PangeaSeed Foundation.
