Colchester Arts Centre
Cistern Chapel
MATERIALS:
Donated blue and white crockery, pennies and Photographic transfers
The Cistern Chapel toilets were created working closely with Architects Inkpen Downie and The Arts Centre to create what is already becoming known as the best toilets in town.
The mosaic designs took inspiration from the building, an ancient Church spanning many era's and the materials were donated by the public. Photographs of past performers and staff along with press cuttings and posters were fired onto ceramic then combined with the donations of carefully cut willow pattern crockery.
The toilet pans were a contemporary take on the willow pattern and Anne worked with Artist Shermaine Slocombe, who produced the designs.
