The blue underlayer

The wall behind the tennis court at night, lit by lamps, with a first layer of light blue and winding branches; a scaffold on the right.
Just after half past ten at night, the tennis court lamps on, and not a single flower on the wall yet. The branches are there, though: long, winding lines over a first layer of pale blue. The skeleton of the work stands before anything grows on it. This is For the Love of God on 5 August 2024, the mural by Francis Sling at Landhuis Rondeklip, Curaçao, at the very beginning. The scaffolding waits on the right. Evenings on the island are cooler. The branches you see here seem to follow the same path in the finished wall. Everything that came after hangs from them.
