Standing in front of her orange couch while waiting for her fiancé to arrive and escort her to the Halloween Ball, this lady is wearing an orange ball gown, a black wide brimmed hat, sterling silver earrings, high heel black shoes and a silky scarf bunched-up under her chin. In addition to a large type ball lighting fixture above her head, there are artistically decorated plates and orange birds keeping her company. Behind her is an orange coloured glass wall with reddish glass block mortar. The orange floor has geometrical patterns and black grout.
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’.
