“It’s inspired by the quarry workers from the quarry outside Aberdeen. I wanted to do something that reflects the city and the history of the town.” said Martin. https://www.aberdeeninspired.com/murals/martin-whatson-2022

“One of my missions is to open peoples eyes to something more than just what is perceived as the norm. I would hate a world that is not visually challenging! In my opinion we need some contrast and change in our life to see the variables and open our minds a little more.“ 2016 interview https://streetartnews.net/2016/12/artist-interview-martin-whatson.html
