[hisimp-chat] Guided Busway Art - Your Help is required!

[Enviro]

HELP REQUIRED
A POSTCARD FROM CAMBRIDGESHIRE
My name is Catrin Jones. I am one of the artists commissioned to enhance the
new Guided Busway. I was attracted to this project because of the wealth of
historical, social and environmental material associated with the area.
I work principally in glass, mostly for public architecture.  I intend to
focus on the bus shelters along the route, using them as a means of
reflection for each stop.  At the moment, I don't yet know how this will be
expressed.
To achieve this, I would like as many people as possible to send me some
information (that you think significant) about the locality.
I'm not thinking about the history or geography that could be found in a
guidebook.  I'm more interested in your feelings about the area (good or
bad) - personal memories, recollections, or events.  For example, it could
be an old map, photograph or drawing.  It could be a quotation, or some
lines of poetry, a map reference, or information about an archeological
find. It could be something personal, some family history, some local
phrases or pieces of dialect. It could be something about special animals or
plants.  Anything that you think epitomizes your locality.


You could email information to me at catrin at catrinjones.co.uk but, if
possible, I'd prefer a postcard or a letter, addressed to me at 11,
Chaddesley Terrace, Swansea, SA1 6HB.  If you can generate a sufficient
quantity of the right sort of information, I can use it as the basis for my
artwork.

I'd be grateful if you could circulate this message as widely as possible.
Since time is short, I'd like to receive contributions by the end of August.

Thank you.  Catrin Jones
