Interviews In the Park

I was commissioned by Carlisle City Council to improve the look of the toilets in Bitts Park. The Toilets although situated in front of a children's playground, are notorious and inconsistent with their surroundings.
I spent time photographing parts of Carlisle and Cumbria that I found inspiring, considering the wildlife and countryside. Although Carlisle has a colourful history I did not want to repeat some of the subject matter already used in other murals around the city. My practise is based on the investigation of the printmaking process, which I used in this piece via digital and screen-printing techniques.
