Roseberry Topping

Roseberry Topping is one of the scenes I painted for the Junction 42 “In Cell” Creative Art Course developed during COVID.

Because we were unable to have face to face engagement with the prisoners, we developed creative art exercises for the men and women to work on in their cells.

At the hight of the pandemic, prisoners were banged up in their cells 23.5 hours a day, so the packs became valuable tools to help them with their mental health.

I went to the surrounding area to gather reference of  Roseberry Topping. I spent time walking around to get a view that captured the distinctive shape of this iconic landmark.

Many of the prisoners we were working with were from Teesside. A familiar scene would resonate with them. Even recently, one of the prisoners was sharing how he loved to walk his German Shepherd up Roseberry Topping.
