To adorn this drab building by visually reflecting the nature of the park with images that echo the surroundings and characteristics of this public space.
I produced several designs considering the traditional stone work that is a feature of Carlisle, as well as the history and turmoil that this has given this place it's unique charm.
There are a number of other murals around the city which I specifically did not want to imitate - many of these describe the distinctive past of Carlisle. I wanted to create a design that sat within the space rather than stood out.
After some research and discussion I submitted some virtual ideas to Carlisle City Council that were given the go ahead. The Council were very encouraging and apart from a few suggestions here and there, they gave me control over the artwork.
