cycles almost sleep
why am I called cycles almost sleep?
cycles almost sleep is the what3words code for The Antelope, which is situated on Church Road in Leyton, East London. It’s known for its incredibly rich history, beautiful green tiles and tragic adandonment.
As a map, I’m able to cover places that are significant to the creator of this map that she wanted to further explore and share with the world.
I cover The Antelope, which is one of Leyton’s well-known and historical pubs. I also cover Etloe House, the elderly people’s home adjacent to The Antelope and finally I present Leyton’s Jubilee Park cafe, known as Kukoolala cafe.
as a map, why do I love leaves?
As a map, I find leaves to be the signature - the footprint - of time, especially during the autumn season. In a way, leaves and trees are maps in themselves. Here in Leyton, there are many trees of all different kinds. This is particularly due to its location in Waltham Forest. It shares borders with Hack- ney Marshes, Walthamstow and Stratford. The trees are carrying decades of age, and have stood through the passage of time, quietly spectating peo- ple, places, the easons, and all things in between. The colourful treasures that the trees carry, though, the leaves - they are like tokens that make life worth living.
Each location exhibits its own local tree from which its fallen leaves have been collected and scanned.
