SHELLEY INGS

Concrete Canvas 2023: All of the designs created for the CCTV bases were informed by information provided by the Community Safety Team. It is fascinating to see how 6 artists with the same brief have taken their artwork in different directions. Shelleys design is based on the Essex Witch trials which took place locally between 1450 and 1750. Executions picked up pace into the 17th century and in one year alone, 1645, 15 women were tried and executed in Chelmsford for the crime of witchcraft at Chelmsford Asizes which stood just around the corner from Shelley’s artwork.
