Thornbury Town Mayor Cllr Angela Symonds has unveiled a beautiful new public art installation at Churchill Retirement Living\u2019s new Alexandra Lodge retirement development in the heart of Thornbury. The glass mural, entitled \u201cFlowerbeds\u201d, was created by artist Sasha Ward at her studio in Marlborough.<\/p>\n

New apartment Owners were also on hand to take part in the grand unveiling on Monday 11th<\/sup> November, along with Churchill\u2019s Regional Sales & Marketing Director Rachel Walsh and members of the Churchill team.<\/p>\n

Installed in a prominent position on the front of the building, the glass mural has been screen printed with enamels, then toughened and laminated so that its vivid colours are permanent and protected.<\/p>\n

Rachel Walsh, Regional Sales & Marketing Director of Churchill Retirement Living, said:<\/p>\n

\n

Churchill is an organisation that genuinely cares about giving something back to the communities we build in, so we are very proud to support this public art installation for the town. It provides the perfect finishing feature to our beautiful new development.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Explaining her inspiration for the design, artist Sasha Ward said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe general idea for my design comes from the patterns in a garden, with cobbles, flowerbeds and blossoming branches. The background cobble shapes are a bit like crazy paving that conceals the forms of flowers and leaves. Curved branches break across these cobbles, they end in the buds of flowers that also look a bit like clouds. The mural, above doors that take you from the Owners\u2019 Lounge into the garden, is therefore placed between the inside and the outside, with the style of the work a mixture of geometry and nature.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Thornbury Town Mayor Cllr Angela Symonds added:<\/p>\n

\n

It was a pleasure to attend the official unveiling of the art installation at Churchill Retirement Living\u2019s new housing development in Thornbury, and also to meet the artist and some of the new apartment Owners who have moved in. I\u2019m impressed at how well the design of the new building fits in with the existing street, and I\u2019m sure the glass mural will be enjoyed by residents of the new apartments as well as by local people passing by.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
