Ulster County native Will Lytle, aka Thorneater Comics, created two murals on opposing parallel walls meant to function as a gate or gauntlet for a pedestrian passage. It is the artist’s intention that those passing through will feel guarded and protected by the Queens, who face each other, creating a space between that evokes a peaceful air of sanctuary. Thorneater Comics painted the Queens in inverse correspondence with a black and white palette. Adorned in reverential hand-painted patterning, they beckon a meditative journey to explore the balance of light and shadow, historic symbology and personal mythology.
