The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
“
I felt it appropriate, after the Everton logo, that my second
piece should be the Liverpool Football Club logo, for the sake
of balance. I hate to admit it but I have never attended a football
match.”

“
An article in The Liverpool Daily Post about the Tapestry project
caught my attention, and although I have done very little canvas
work, the project really excited me and I wanted to be involved.
I decided on my subject ‘Doorway in Rodney Street’ as I have
always been very interested in architecture and the Georgian
buildings around Rodney Street seemed to epitomise the cultural
side of Liverpool. There are so many negative comments written
about Liverpool and not enough about the City itself, with its
fantastic Georgian homes and impressive public buildings, many of
them new, interesting and thought provoking.
One of the advantages of joining the project was in meeting
like-minded people, and in a fabulous church that I know I would
otherwise have never visited. In addition, the fact that the scheme
was brought together by Liverpool people made me proud to have
taken part.”
