Route 78 is an exploratory research-led drawing project that uses London’s 78 bus route as a framework for on‑location observational work. Formed as a series of reportage drawings in a concertina format that follows the 78 bus route in London. Across multiple sessions, I drew directly from the environment while travelling along the route on the bus and walking, documenting the changing rhythms of urban space, infrastructure, and social encounter.

The work foregrounds movement as a method of investigation, capturing temporal and spatial transitions through line, marks, and notation. This practice aligns closely with urban psychogeographic inquiry, turning public transport into a tool for understanding the city’s flows, patterns, and lived experience. The drawings function as both mapping tools and expressive records, showing how journeys can form the basis of creative investigation.

The work demonstrates my ability to engage with movement as a method of observation, embedding process into travel and translating ephemeral experiences into visual material.
