Circle Line

With its simple design of a circle bisected by a line, the London Underground logo must be one the most familiar icons of London life. The Circle Line is also the name of the only line on the Underground, or 'tube' network to form a loop, making it possible to travel on it for the whole day, something I've never attempted). From Saturday trips to my dad's office in the city, spellbound by the scale of everything, to commuting as an adult, I have spent countless hours on the tube network; the Circle Line, District Line, Northern Line, Central Line, and the rest of them. This piece evokes the rhythm and bustle of tube travel. During this journey, the bustle gives way to calmer moments: daydreams, reflections, and ideas. Rather than reaching a final destination, the piece circles back to the beginning to start the journey over.
