Sealed acrylic & emulsion on stone. 2000
The Manor Adventure Park in Corvedale nr Craven Arms has a massive double sized georgian dining room - a fantastic blank canvas! The brief was pretty open and reflects the activities and the spirit of the centre.
Shirley wanted to include a degree of fun in the mural as it was mostly young people, many from challenging backgrounds. She decided to use an animated cartoon character in bright contrast with a bluey grey backdrop. The cartoon character zips around the room followed by his cartoon whizzy streak interfacing with the rather more serious outward bound activities. The visual works really well, a bit like "who framed roger rabbit"
