Artist in residence on No. 36 Bus. A continuing project exploring the layers of history uncovered by a bus journey from Leeds to Harewood and beyond
The 36 is one of the oldest bus routes in Yorkshire, connecting disparate communities via a high-speed service every 20 minutes.
I am exploring the life of the road, relating this to the former Stagecoach route over which the bus runs,and researching the settlements that date from earlier times the further north you go.
There are plans for a film and publication tbc.
