Prison Murals by Eccentric O

  • - Eccentric O -

Last Summer I was invited by Educreate to put on a workshop for young offenders in Oakhill Prison, Milton Keynes. Wanting to do a specific mindfulness workshop for a while, I decided to go all in and do a two week meditative art workshop with the goal of empowering the trainees to express creativity through art experimentation. We focused on experimental creation whilst applying a meditative state of mind to aid healing, recovery and inner mindfulness. A few months later I was invited back to creatively charge the walls of the prison's green area with three vibrant EO murals. This was intense as I had very limited time in a week because of security. The weather gods also decided it would be hilarious to give me daily challenges. Below are images of the completed murals.
