Designer/artist Morag Myerscough will transform pedestrian crossings on Borough High Street with intricate bold geometric patterns developed using details from the surrounding architecture. The latest in Better Bankside’s ‘Colourful Crossings’ series.

Additional text

Morag Myerscough’s mantra is ‘make happy those who are near and those who are far will come’. Born and Bred, London, Myerscough has always lived in the city and has been fascinated by how words, colour, pattern and structures can change brutal urban environments and peoples perceptions of spaces into places. Her work is characterised by an engaging boldness, creating specific, local responses to each distinct audience that will see and experience the work, using it to create community and build identity.

Find the designs along Borough High Street throughout the duration of the festival. Also keep an eye out for an exclusive workshop on 15 September with Myerscough - more details to come very soon!

This new commission for Better Bankside's Colourful Crossings series is part of the Low Emissions Neighbourhood scheme funded by The Mayor of London.
