This bus was new to Lothian buses a 449 in 2016.
Seen here on Easter Road.
During the lockdown, Lothian Buses were running limited services with some not running. All routes were run out of central garage, Livingston and Musselburgh depots only, using madder buses which have screens to protect the driver from attacks, which were at the time used to protect the drivers and public from contamination. Buses were drafted in from all depots and used for 2 weeks before deep cleaning, meaning unusual workings were seen.
Leith Walk was closed northbound due to tram works construction.
Services 7, 14, 16, 22, 25 and 49 towards Leith were diverted via London Road and Easter Road. Citybound journeys continued to serve their normal route up Leith Walk.
Service 11 towards Ocean Terminal was diverted via Annandale Street, Bellevue Road, McDonald Road and Broughton Road. Citybound journeys continued to serve their normal route on Pilrig Street and Leith Walk.
Three days ago my Stranger Qiuchun (#446) and her friends encouraged me to see the Ontario College of Art and Design University Graduate Exhibition, an annual show which was on this weekend. Qiuchun is a student at the university (www.ocadu.ca) and thought I would enjoy the show.
Today was a beautiful warm, sunny day to break the string of cold, wet weather we have had in Toronto and which has delayed spring my several weeks. It seemed to perfect Sunday for an outing so my wife and I hopped the subway and went down to Chinatown to the university which had its doors open to welcome the community to the event which showcased the work of the graduating class, covering many disciplines including painting and drawing, photography, material arts, industrial design, sculpture and many other programs.
I remember how surprised I was the first time I explored the modernistic building behind the Art Gallery of Ontario. Despite its unique modern architecture, the interior seemed a mad clutter on every floor with murals on the walls of the staircases. Once I remembered that creating is a messy business it didn’t seem so odd. Today was no different. Classrooms and studios on six or more floors had been converted to galleries for the occasion and the public was free to wander from room to room and floor to floor with student volunteers and artists placed in the halls to provide direction and in the galleries to explain their work. The variety was quite remarkable and it was fun getting a glimpse into the work of the new generation’s creative thinking and output.
In one studio with skylights on an upper floor I saw this young woman sitting on a chair, surrounded by her art, with a most peculiar-looking person on a chair next to her. Wearing a bizarre red mask which had a head mounted on each side, the appearance was of someone with three heads. There was a laptop on this person’s lap with hands (complete with red fingernail polish) posed on the keys. It was difficult to assess if it was a man or woman and at first the fingernail polish threw me off. It was, however, a man.
I didn’t want to “commandeer” this social outing into a Stranger-seeking event, but couldn’t resist the temptation and asked my wife if she would mind my absence for a few minutes and she said she would continue viewing the exhibit and I could join her.
I began by asking the man if I could photograph him for my project but he was unresponsive and I couldn’t establish much eye contact through the peculiar mask, I turned to this woman who turned out to be the artist who had created the mask along with many other works of art in the room. Meet Katlyn. It was then that I realized she would be the subject for my project because she was the artist and the model was more or less a nonverbal prop for the mask.
Katlyn was very friendly and responsive and asked the fellow with the mask if a photo was ok and he somehow conveyed to her that it was. A bit rattled by this point but decided to follow through photographing “mask man” since he was my original request, figuring I would then proceed with Katlyn. I had to ask him to get up and take a few steps to get away from a shaft of powerful sunlight coming down through the studio skylight. He complied quite slowly and I made my photo. Next was Katlyn and I was conflicted by wanting a closeup that would show her beautiful eyes and a photo a bit further back to show her impressive tattoo collection. I wound up photographing two versions.
Katlyn, who is 24 and will graduate this year, is originally from Grand Bend Ontario on the eastern shore of Lake Huron. She explained that her model is Luke who turned out to be her boyfriend. Luke is from London England and is a PhD student in Philosophy at the nearby University of Toronto. Katlyn explained her artwork as expressing competing, conflicting emotions and it has evolved this year into an exploration of the “creepy.” She said the concept of the mask was to show three emotions on one person and she said it was inspired by the mythical creature Cereburs, a dog with three heads that guarded the gates to the underworld (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus). You can visit Katlyn’s website www.katlynnemo.com ) to find out more about her and her creative work. I decided to finish up with a dual portrait showing both Katlyn and Luke which I’ve included as a comment photo. The circular artwork in the background of the comment photos is that of a fellow student.
Katlyn was very outgoing and friendly and as we shook hands and I thanked her and Luke for helping me with my photo project, she explained Luke’s hesitant and silent handshake by telling me “Please understand, he is remaining ‘in character’ all day today.” I understand.
When I asked Katlyn if she had any "words of wisdom" to share with the viewers, she referred to rules to live by written by Sister Corita Kent. The one which resonated with Katlyn was #7: "The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It's the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things." Katlyn pointed out that for a working artist, it is essential to remain active and productive.
It was great meeting both of you, Katlyn and Luke. Thanks for participating in 100 Strangers. Katlyn, you are Stranger #449 in Round 5 of my project.
Additional note: I received a very nice email from Katlyn saying how much she enjoyed meeting me and telling me she was enjoying the 100 Strangers project. She wished me success with my next round of the project. Katlyn helped me with my project and I got her thanks. How excellent is that?
