The above image has been created for the glass frontage of the new Blackburn Health Centre. Creative writing workshops took place at St Mary’s College where students were encouraged to think about ‘beautiful moments’. Some of the students then came to a follow up workshop having taken photos of Blackburn and created their own digital images. All these images have been incorporated into the final piece. Another consultation took place in Blackburn Library, where members of the public were asked to specify which parts of Blackburn they considered beautiful; these areas have also been used to create the vista.
The piece is based on the community consultation detailed above but also aims to give the sense of time and the shifting light that occurs through out the day (specified in the initial brief). The birds along the top of the image create a sense of transition and movement through the image indicating a period of change and regeneration.
Beautiful Blackburn Moments aims to be an uplifting piece that makes something extraordinary out of the everyday. See more in the gallery of www.bluebutterflyflooring.com
