Yellow Bus Residency

Bournemouth Yellow Bus Residence Artist Diane Roberts The artist Diane Roberts has been creating miniature installations as a part of her Residence for Yellow Buses. The miniature people are modelled on model railway figures the characters are then meticulously hand painted and set out as family groups or lone figures. These installations are left for bus passengers to discover . Hoping it will bring a smile and a positive emotion to passengers as they enjoy there journey. I want to tell a story through the installations . I like to think people will respond to the art work . The bus can be a lonely place to travel on late at night or early morning . The environment has always played an inspiration to my work . I seek to inspire a sense of reminiscence or play and for the viewer to recapture the playful imagination of childhood. I have also created a film entitled The Night Bus , which can be viewed on my You tube channel. The film focuses on the beautiful light changes a reflection which can be viewed on a rainy evening on the top deck. http://youtu.be/z1rYaShRI2A https://www.youtube.com/user/dianeroberts22 I hope to exhibit a series of photographs of the miniature installations .
