Caught in the Act

Fran and I initially became interested in the West End of Chelmsford as it is an area of flux, undergoing rapid change and redevelopment. Now after visiting the area, and drawing there on and off for almost two month, our focus has shifted. Click onto the map of the area (map) and flip over to the satellite picture, and you’ll see it contains both the railway station, and the bus station, as well as having a high density of car parks. Commuters pass through on their way to work first thing in the morning, then back again at night. The area is a mass of signs directing and corralling them, and adverts hoping to ensnare them as they pass. As a result it is splashed with primary colours.
