John Elliott, 53, Retired, Mayfield
“I created this artwork by taking photographs of shop signs around the Mayfield and Easthouses shopping area. I think people were wondering what I was up to! I then individually cropped each letter on the computer and stitched them together.
It reflects the diversity of shops in Mayfield, although we could do with more shops. It’s a big estate but has a very small centre. I sometimes use the butchers, the bakers and the Co-op, but I’m not so fond of shopping. My sister uses them more than I do. As a general rule, I’d say women like shopping more than men.”
