Ms Waters said the concrete screen, which was a part of the original Merseyway development in 1965, was the backdrop to everyone’s youth in Stockport, even though they may not have appreciated it.
“As teenagers you would park up in the car park or go shopping in the Merseyway, so the screen was a constant in everyone’s lives,” she said.
The artist moved to Stockport at eight years old and lived in Manchester for a while as an adult.
“When I was younger Stockport felt a bit grim because there wasn’t any investment at that time so it was very run down,” she said.
“I had a studio in Manchester for a while and when I moved back I challenged myself to find the beauty in the town.
“Now I hope I can help other people do the same.”
