    paper Dublin Canvas

    Dublin Canvas is a community art project intended to bring flashes of colour and creativity to everyday objects in the greater County Dublin area. The project takes previously unused public space and transforms it into canvases to help brighten up each area.
    I painted two electric boxes on the Northside of the city, one located near the Phoenix Park entrance and another in Santry.
