Palmerston House is a site-specific mural created freehand with hand-mixed milk paint. The intuitive linework interacts with the room’s alcoves, curves, and shifting planes of light. Conceived as a contemporary fresco, the mural integrates seamlessly into the walls, becoming an atmospheric part of the space rather than surface decoration. Without a predetermined plan, the design emerged in response to the room’s unique features. The matte, subtly textured finish of the milk paint enhances the mural’s connection to its environment. As light flows through the alcoves—one in warm golden ochre with powdery sky blue accents, the other in light carmine pink with a wash of burnt sienna and cool plum linework—the colors shift and glow, giving the artwork a dynamic, living quality that evolves with the light and mood of the room.
