“I Ate a Whole Raccoon” by artists Graeme McCormack & Alison Woodward

This piece was inspired by its laneway location in East Vancouver, where
it is close to skid road and in the poorer part of the city.
Garbage decorates the heads of the spirits like tiny fascinators as East
Van’s quintessential crows and raccoons watch from a distance.

Artist Statement: “ We wanted to include inspiration from the site that we
were given, in an alley way where there was a dumpster against the wall
before it got move to paint here. We wanted to do something to reference
that to that with our garbage spirits who are having a good time in the alley
way, they’re peaking out at the community garden across the alley which
is a positive influence in a place that not a lot of people necessarily want
to hang out.”
