The David Suzuki Foundation teaming up with ink-maker Jason Logan, artist Pam Lostracco and Gallery 1065 co-curator Jode Roberts to transform the gallery into an immersive paint-by-numbers mural inspired by Toronto’s urban nature. But there was a twist: the colours were made from ingredients foraged in the neighbourhood around the gallery.

The show opened on Friday, September 4, revealing Pam’s wild mural throughout the gallery. At 7pm, there was a casual sneak peak where you could drop by and meet the artists.

On September 5 and 6, Jason led foraging and natural ink-making workshops with 40 participants. They gathered leaves, berries, bark, flowers and more, then turned them into a locally made palette for the mural.

Participants started filling in the paint-by-numbers mural with the foraged inks from September 8 to 10 and the opening party was Thursday, September 10, from 6–9 p.m

The show ran until Sunday, September 20 and included 215 participants that made ink and painted the walls.
