Commissioning entity: Sandpaper Studio & Hendricks Commercial Properties
Sandpaper Studio commissioned Hue Murals to create artwork as part of their project restoring and repurposing the historic Coca-Cola bottling plant in downtown Indianapolis. Koda contributed to this project by painting large-scale murals and hand-painted directional signs meant to beautify the garage and provide wayfinding assistance. The shapes in the mural designs reflect architectural elements from the Bottleworks property, while incorporating a bright, cheerful color palette.
When Hendricks Commercial Properties tasked us with the wayfinding experience in their garage, we immediately recognized two things: 1) It had to be authentic, which meant hand-painting, and 2) Koda would be our go-to. We wanted Koda on our team for her renowned painting skills alone. What we witnessed in her ability to build her team, organize the project, keep every detail completely in check, and over-deliver in every way was, well, freaking awesome. They took our designs and turned a basic garage into the first step in priming visitors for the incredible experience that awaits them.
