Michael Imlay Studio

Paula Scher of Pentagram designed and painted the original artwork for two murals at the Metropolitan Avenue School in Forest Hills, Queens. I and my crew hand painted this mural on panels in the studio and then installed them on site. It is a map of New York City that covers all four walls of the solarium room that it is in. A similar mural in the same building is a map of Queens with the place names being in many different langauges and alphabets to reflect the extraordinary ethnic diversity of Queens.
