Bramley residents are being asked to have their say on an idea to design a mural on the side of Full Circle funeral directors.
The mural would be ‘an artistic representation of the feelings and emotions of our local community in relation to death, dying and bereavement’ and follows on from artwork created by members of the local bereavement support group, which can be viewed here.
A public consultation on the proposals has now been launched and a Full Circle spokesperson said: “Many people that we have supported have told us that they have found different ways to express their emotions, share their feelings and have used creativity to help support their wellbeing after loss.
“As an extension to this project as part of Leeds 2023, we would like to create an artistic representation of the feelings and emotions of our local community in relation to death, dying and bereavement, on the side of our Bramley premises.
“We know ‘The Globe’ holds a lot of historical value here in Bramley and we don’t take this privilege lightly. As we are the current caretakers of the building, we don’t want to even start the process of creation without finding out your views, on what you may like to be included in the art, what type of style this would be produced in, and whether you even feel this is something that is appropriate for the building!”
Opinions can be expressed via the Google Form here, or in person at The Villagers Community Club on May 2 between 6pm and 8pm – attendees can sign up here.
I don’t know which wall they’re talking about, but any sort of distraction on this building would be a mistake. Its on a busy junction of 5 roads, with 2 badly sited zebra crossings, people and drivers need to keep their eyes on the road.
