The idea come about after Emma Pumfrey, ECL customer, mentioned to a member of staff that it would look good to produce a piece of art that creates the illusion of looking through a sensory water tube.

As a result of the idea, local graffiti artist Scott Irving of Brave Arts accepted an invitation to help ECL’s customers create the mural on the wall of the centres art room.

I love the colours and it’s really bright.

The mural depicts the view of the local church, with the multi-colour essence to give the sense of the view through the sensory tube.

Scott interacted really well with the customers and managed to get them really involved. I am proud of Emma’s idea and happy to see it come to life.
