A Screen That Can Change Shape
A row of painted panels now separates the garden from the loading area at the Vesrin Community Hall. From the garden, the panels appear to form a single picture of hills and clouds. From behind, visitors can see that each panel is attached to its own wheeled frame. The screen was designed to hide the loading area during outdoor events without permanently blocking the delivery path.
The artist first drew the whole picture on paper and divided it into equal sections. Each section became the design for one panel. To make later repairs easier, the artist recorded the paint mixtures beside a numbered sketch. The sketch identifies which section belongs to each frame; the paint notes describe how its colors were mixed. Keeping both records matters because a matching color alone would not identify the correct part of the picture.
Before deliveries, hall staff move the frames to a marked storage strip. Afterward, they use small numbers on the frames to restore the panel order. The front wheels must be locked once the frames are in position. Staff also check that the gap leading to the garden gate remains clear. The screen is arranged in a shallow curve rather than a straight line, allowing the picture to be seen from the garden benches.
The movable design creates work that a fixed fence would not require. Staff must check the frames after every move and store them inside when strong winds are expected. In return, the hall can keep the loading path open when needed and display the complete picture during events. The artist considers the screen a working object as well as a picture: its success depends on what people can do around it, not simply on how it looks.
