The decor on this mural box appears to have come straight from the Delft factory in the Netherlands.This lady's exuberance is overwhelmingly contagious. Born in the Netherlands, she is overjoyed at having been selected to act in a famous Dutch play titled "Snowfever". A most appropriate title considering the amount of snow that falls here during the winter. Wearing a blue and white dress, she is standing in front of a wall covered in white and blue drawings of flowers, geometric patterns, birds, triangles and leaves. Her dress is adorned with similar objects. She is wearing a pair of hoops earrings and blue sandals.
Drew Mandigo created the first seventeen Downtown Rideau Mural Boxes installed in late 2016, from his Auntie Mame Series. Stunning in their originality, Drew’s works feature digital collages of ladies dressed in 1950’s and 60’s fashions, and are inspired by the spirit of the 1958 film of the same name. Several new pieces were released as part of the 2017 mural box expansion project, including one featuring a lady trapped in a glass dome, surrounded by butterflies, and a unique piece dubbed ‘the upside-down lady’.
