When Orpington 1st shared the idea of creating an Orpington Mural, I thought it would be a really nice opportunity to put a creative mark on my hometown. I'm very enthusiastic about promoting the creative scene in Orpington and a big believer in the positive role which the arts can play in communities, so it's been great to work with a likeminded organisation in Orpington 1st.
I started to think about how to incorporate all the different elements listed in the most fun and vibrant way possible and I came up with the idea of using the word ORPINGTON as a mechanism to frame the visual elements.
The colourful and vibrant artwork features references to Orpington, from The River Cray which runs through south east London to Orpington War Memorial.
The artwork, created in an accessible way by use of bold colours and shapes, also references Orpington's wildlife such as little egrets and kingfishers, both of which are found in the River Cray.
