City Centre - Belfast


September piece to theme Road Map

I screen printed the figures. They are in 3 shades to represent the workers of the past, present and future. I free machine stitched the map of Belfast city centre that I had traced onto the fabric. I painted the River Lagan blue and the Motorway red. I do not like the shape of the motorway.

The docks where the Titanic was built are in the top right hand corner.

  3. Wil, Thanks for sorting out the spacing on my posting. I do not like the shape of red just below where it divides and againe where it bends to left on my piece, it introduces a sharp angle, (mind you do not like driving this area either especially in rush hour.

    However the layout of Motorway was not designed with me in mind!!!!??!! just remembered I had to draw maps of it and soil tests for it in my long distant past. Is this what they mean by the saying..." the past will catch up on you"?

    anything wrong with it!

  5. I really like the screenprinting of the past, present and future people. And especially knowing the location where the Titanic was built.
