Back in May 2021 I visited artist Maud Milton at her studio in Trinity Buoy Wharf at Leamouth East London where she creates the beautiful mosaic roundels that you can see at railway stations around London. Maud was working on a new roundel for Selhurst Station during the interview.
Among the roundels Maud has created are: Gospel Oak, South Tottenham, Thornton Heath, Walthamstow Central, Leyton Midland Road, Leytonstone High Road, St James Street, Chingford, and Highams Park.
“They’ve got modern twist to them and they they act like signage, but they’re an artwork and they’re made by hundreds of people in the community … when you go close up and you start reading the words and you know some of the words, will make you laugh. Some of the things that they say are really poignant, especially at the moment.”
