Daydreamer — exterior mural, Graniti Murales residency, Sicily, Italy
DAAS painted Daydreamer in Graniti, Sicily as part of the Graniti Murales artist residency — a site-specific exterior mural in a small mountain village in the Alcantara Valley, northeastern Sicily. 2018.
Daydreamer was created during DAAS's residency with Graniti Murales, an internationally recognized artist residency program that transforms the mountain village of Graniti — near Taormina in Sicily's Alcantara Valley — into a permanent open-air gallery. The residency's model of deep community immersion before painting is one DAAS values: artists spend time with the village before any mark is made on the wall. This is DAAS's only permanent mural in Europe, and one of several international commissions that include work in Japan, China, and Jordan.
