I travel a lot. As a result I manage to explore #Art in the most unlikely places. #StPancras Station has a beautiful sculpture entitled #TheMeetingPlace by #PaulDay. In 2008 a high-relief frieze was added to the base of the Meeting Place sculpture as part of refurbishments at St Pancras, featuring images from the history of the Tube and train: people queuing on platforms or travelling in carriages; soldiers departing for war and returning injured, and repair works following the 7 July 2005 London bombings. The work was the object of controversy when first erected, as one panel depicted a commuter falling into the path of a train driven by the Grim Reaper. However, following discussions with London and Continental Railways (LCR), this panel was replaced with another. So next time you travel, use your senses to look around and seek out something other than your departure time or a muffin for your travel. Arrive a little early and why not appreciate life at your port of choice. #ARTCHOD a brand new podcast coming soon.
