The story behind the commission from Burbage Parish Council.

Burbage Parish Council contacted me to ask if I could supply them with canvasses of my photographs from the project Hinckley, Burbage & Bosworth Photographed.

They wanted to brighten up Millennium Hall in the village, a public space used by the community for get togethers, parties and all kinds of meetings. In Meeting Room 1, during the recent renovation, the builders forgot to put the sound proofing tiles in the ceiling, which has caused an auditory echo, making it uncomfortable for people using it.
This commission was for canvasses featuring my artwork around Burbage and big enough to fit sound proofing tiles behind and will help contribute to reducing the echo in the room.

I’ve also made a short film about the commission, touching briefly on how the artwork has been made.

Enjoy…

This commission has inspired me to look more deeply at my archives and I’ll be curating all images that would work as wall art for a new artwork sales and rental part to my business.
I plan to provide unique local photographic artwork of the Leicestershire landscape to all residents and businesses, where you can choose to rent for a low monthly subscription and having the ability to swap the artwork around at 6 and 12 monthly intervals and also with the options to purchase.

This idea will suit any offices and workspaces, cafe’s, bars, pubs and public buildings and also in your own homes. Currently this idea is in it’s infancy, where I’m curating the work that is suitable and designing a route to market. This will launch in 2023.

If this is something you would be interested in, then please by all means subscribe to my emails, which I only do a few times each month but always with new information about services and big things that are happening, like this amazing commission from burbage Parish Council.
