MURALS & INSTALLATIONS
These large scale and community-based projects have to be some of my favorite projects I've been working on, mainly because of the feelings of immense love I get from creating things for my community and local artists uniting together.
I intend on having these types of installation projects be a main focus in the future, so if you have any interest in my works please feel free to reach out :)
PUDDLED MIRRORS
Measuring roughly 8ft high and a combined 11ft wide, this installation was custom designed for these sections of opposing wall.
Each mirror is hand cut out of old broken and chipped mirrors from previous renovations, and each is covered in a lightweight foam, carved, covered in a white mortar, and then sanded.
The installation is primarily made of recycled materials and it's design is lightweight in consideration that it would be horrible if a heavy-ass mirror fell off your 1900's rental apartment walls onto your head at 2am.

MUSHROOM
An Interior and Exterior Mural and Sculptural Lobby Installation for the
People's Light Theater in Malvern, PA, 2022.
COLLABORATION BY SANTIAGO CASTRO &
LEX WILLIAMS
Designed for the latinx play Mushroom by Eisa Davis, a bilingual production about immigration and the agricultural community in Kennett Square, PA,
the mural encapsulates the beauty of latinx culture and introduces you to it's influence on mushroom farming as predecessor you walk in the theater to see the production.
The interior of the project includes play with color, texture, light, and dimension, with objects made from a variety of materials protrude from the walls and colored forms stretch across the walls. In the exterior, three weather-proof 4-foot mushroom sculptures were created out of joint compound, chicken wire, cardboard, paper mache, and satin.
