The Magical Wonderland Bowbridge Bus Depot Perikaleidoscope Bus Stop : Summer 2020
It's all the fun of the fair as you step into a world of blue skies, fluffy clouds, rainbows and magical mirrors. See the world from a different perspective while you wait.
Designed and produced collaboratively with Isa Clee, who made the incredible Perikaleidoscope with Gavin McClafferty.
Info from Good on Paper :
“Inspired by an anonymous ‘vandal’ who made alterations to the Brewery Lane bus shelter in 2019, Brimscombe and Thrupp Parish Council commissioned Studio 18 to revamp the bus shelters on the A419 London Road into inspiring and engaging art installations. The Brewery Lane bus stop transformation - which included the addition of a comfy chair, book shelf, ornaments, pictures, bunting and lighting - hit the local and national newspapers as a quirky feel-good story.
Eleven bus stops have been transformed into public works of art forming a trail along London Road, feeding creatively into the Brimscombe and Thrupp community. The ‘Art shelters’ are designed to bring a little joy and also carry a message either through environmental care or celebration of local community and nature, using reclaimed material wherever possible. The eye-catching bus stops even caught the attention of the BBC who recently came down to find out more about the project and interview some of the artists involved.”
