Everyday heroes honoured in Warrington bus station art A visionary young artist has created a buzz around Warrington with a jaw-dropping display created to celebrate the relationship between the town and its people. Warrington artist Cameron Brown has transformed Warrington Bus Interchange with a powerfully poignant collection of portraits. “As you are now so once were we” is a thought-provoking display of 48 portraits painted onto the glass of the bus station as a touching tribute to the people of Warrington, the impact they have had on their town, and the role our town played in their lives. Cameron explained: “The aim behind the piece was to celebrate the impact that the people of Warrington can have on the town, often without realising, and to recognise the impact that the town can have on us as a collective. “It was an attempt to try and remember the people that came before, appreciate the people that are presently having an effect on the town, and to be aware of the impact we can have on what is still to come.” Taking its name from James Joyce’s novel Ullyses, Cameron’s work attempts to add a sense of context and belonging to our own individual lives, to encourage people to look back at what has gone before and how they have arrived in the position they find themselves in today.
