Northampton artist Tamsyn Payne exhibiting her painting of green service cabinets, including some attributed words from John Clare.

Tamsyn’s work forms part of a project titled Northampton Cabinet Art, launched in July 2025, which aims to ‘bring joy to Northampton one cabinet at a time’ by enabling local artists to decorate the usually dark olive green metal or plastic cabinets used by media companies to house sensitive telecommunications or power equipment

Based on a photograph of Northampton Race Course at sunset and building on themes of nostalgia and community, the painted cabinet can be found on nearby Clare Street.

Northampton Cabinet Art Project gets off to a great start (Northampton Chronicle, 31 July 2025).
