A to B in MK
A to B in MK (2018) is an artist’s book that documents 12 collective walks and cycle rides on the Milton Keynes Redways, a270km network of pedestrian and cycling paths that run in parallel to the Milton Keynes road grid.
The writing which explores parts of this network is a continuation of Hayley’s interest in sustainable transport, roads and oil. The publication includes a job application, written to Milton Keynes Council and Highways in the voice of the Redways asking for a role in the future of sustainable transport in the town. It is a sister publication to MKVH The Screenplay (2007), a book documenting a performance in which a coach was driven around the road grid of Milton Keynes until it ran out of diesel.
