Mural Restoration Expert Removes Iconic Mosaic Mural From David O. McKay Building Prior To Demolition

Back on June 21st I posted on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/FineArtConservation/ and https://www.facebook.com/bestartdoc/ ⌠request âFriendsâ, leave a thumbs up, leave a comment?) that we were part of a team to save an iconic and historic mosaic mural on the North Shore of Oahu at BYU-Hawaii. The iconic mural has greeted visitors to the entrance of Brigham Young University-Hawaii Pacific cultures educational center for many decades and has been widely published.
Well, a week or so ago, we completed the removal of the entire cement wall, saving 100% of the historic mosaic mural in good condition, and have it documented for the architects and admin who will determine its reinstallation at an unknown future time. It was 1 of 3 murals in the entrance of the university. The other 2, I removed from their walls last Dec. 2023 which are also waiting for details of their reinstallation. They were painted in oil on canvas and were adhered to the wall. Each of these murals measures 11Ⲡhigh by 33Ⲡwide. Weâve been working with Okland Construction Co. on this project. Whereas most murals are made of ceramic or stone, this mosaic was made at a workshop in Venice, Italy out of glass tesserae.
The concept (it is not an image captured of an actual event) of the mosaic mural is by the artist, Edward Grigware, which came to represent Hawaii becoming a State of the USA and the establishing of the educational center for all Pacific cultures.
Obviously, after the facing-carrier-armature-protective layers were applied to the surface of the mosaic, then we couldnât see the composition to guide the removal process. So, I made a map of the mural and transferred it to the front of these layers to guide us.
This is the completed map showing the planned removal. But, it turned out that we were able to remove the mosaic in much larger pieces thereby resulting in 75% fewer cuts. With this map, every piece is documented and can be put back together like a puzzle. This is, actually, the way the mosaic mural was made (then shipped) to the installation site originally⌠in 1 ft sq. pieces and then put together like a puzzle.
Kory Ates and Mike Terry from Okland Construction assisted me in the removal process. In all, I think we lifted about 4,000 lbs of mosaic and cement off the wall!
Here is the mosaic mural wall⌠without the mural, which has been removed with its cement wall.
Each section of the mosaic mural is numbered and inventoried, then stored according to its position on the wall for easy retrieval. Each pallet has the entire mural map and also paperwork with more precise details. We now await the plans from admin and architects to plan out the restoration process.
The restoration process will include removing the 1âł-2âł cement layer from the back of the mosaic, consolidating any loose pieces/tesserae, applying new grout from the back, adhering the mosaic to a new support or backing, removing and cleaning the facing-carrier-armature-protective layers which were applied to the surface of the mosaic, and then any fine tuning for appearance sake.

Corporate Mormonism knows how important two-deep leadership. It's implemented all over the church. It's used in primary, scouting, and when counting tithing money. In none of these cases does someone have to ask for protection to be provided. It's provided by default.
Recent changes to policy allow Mormon kids to ASK for a second leader to be in the room during an interview. They shouldn't have to ask.

On Friday evening, I received my Endowments in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. My sister Tristy-la was my escort, and a few other family members and friends. I was excited and emotional. And apparently, I prepared very well because nothing really shocked me or blew my mind. I am so happy that I was able to change my path and be able to live worthily to enter. I look forward to doing a Temple tour and whatever God has in store for me next <3

Templo de Santiago de Chile. Junio 2013
A pesar de la Lluvia, el granizo, los truenos y relĂĄmpagos. El Templo sigue ahĂ brillando y mostrando su blancura hermosa en una noche oscura.Â
Seamos como el Templo. LevantĂŠmonos y BrillemosÂ

My mom told me about the mirrors in the sealing room that are supposed to symbolize eternity. She didn't tell me Mormons wear green aprons on their wedding day. Men also wear a hat and women a veil. I didn't know this. The photos are from NewNameNoah's YouTube video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgf5KRvu4Ig) that shows footage recorded during a Mormon temple wedding (aka sealing ceremony)
