The focal point for this park changed, due to practical (and probably financial) reasons. Anyway ……..I knew the low retaing wall that looked horrible was the place that it now had to be? There had to be a statement here.
I did'nt know exactly how or what, untill I thought I would use it as a gallery for all the rest of the mosaics made by the local people.
I stuck the remaining 13 mosaics on the wall, framed them with some black and white tiles which have been in my shed for ages and thought I would paint the remaining wall white.
Yo…..white I realised grafitti would be irrestible and really show up. I had to to something to this wall cos it was just rubbish. I went for a look which has low impact at a distance but very visual when you get near it. Taking a bit of a gamble in a public space making it up as you go along, I went with the checked thing, did not really have a clear vision only to reduce the impact of graffitti when it occurs.
