London Bridge x Buzz (White Noise)

White noise can be the all-encompassing, nearly atmospheric property of our daily living in the urban environment. The sounds of people en masse gathered in one space- such as London Bridge - the culmination of all those audible micro and macro actions people conduct with the layering of the more robust acoustics of multiple trains pulling in and out of the station is part of the buzz. This frenetic hum of the substation at the foot of the station's entrance and egress at the Bermondsey Street taxi rank is similar to the static sounds, the after-glow of the big bang, which (arguably) blankets our entire universe. It is these familiar sounds - coupled more specifically to our murals purpose - illustrating the low-level frequency emitted by our contributors' place of business. We tried to capture the additional, otherwise sonorous buzz from within their busy dining experience and project that onto our quietly humming canvas.

Our mural will act as a metaphor - to highlight and celebrate the far-reaching origins of the local restaurateurs who have all gathered at the foot of London Bridge to contribute to the expansive and international food destination the neighbourhood has grown to become. We are painting portraits of the sound of food, working to bring people together.
