Scape is a community-based project led by mosaic artist Anna Camilleri and production assistant Tristan R. Whiston. Individual and group sketches were produced during a series of creative brainstorms; with this, Camilleri produced Scape's design. Volunteer participants collaborated over several months to create this large-scale public artwork.
