Icarus’s cycle across Europe took her five and a half weeks, covering 2500 miles as she went. The installation tour may not be travelling quite as far, but it will hopefully be stopping off at a town near you! If you would like to book the installation for your local event please email Lucy on lucyburnett75@gmail.com.
