Murals "Journey"

Murals "Journey"

In May 2004, I painted a series of three murals for Rochester train station in Kent. The theme is "Journey" between the station and London. The works are permanently displayed along the pathway at the station.

The first panel represents the town of Rochester with its historical landmarks. It shows the journey inhabited by the ghostly images of transitory commuters.

The second panel captures the typical scenery seen throughout the journey by rail from Rochester to London, with a sense of chaos and speed of the experience of travelling by train.

The final panel depicts the destination London with it's newer architecture and using the geometric patterns to create a sense a of a modern, almost futuristic city.
