For this piece, the artist aimed to create a design that invites the community to look deeper, encouraging personal reflection and discovery.

Wayfinders purposefully celebrates its location on Park Road in Bingley, bringing vibrant life and colour to the space and sparking conversations about our relationship with nature. Drawing inspiration from the behaviour and symbolism of the birds it depicts.

BD: Walls

Wayfinders was part of BD: Walls, a collection of new street art commissioned by Bradford 2025 for walls across Bradford District – paying vibrant tribute to our heritage while celebrating our dynamic street art culture.

About Wayfinders

The mural’s dynamic composition flows toward the canal path, where moorhens and Canada geese cross the wall, breaking free of the borders to evoke movement and rhythm in the work. Their movement echoes the direction of local landmarks, including the nearby Three and Five Rise Locks.

These birds were chosen not just for their presence in the area, but also for what they represent. Moorhens, often overlooked, are native and remarkably adaptable, embodying resilience and strength in both water and on land. Canada geese symbolise migration, loyalty, and community, reminding us of the power of teamwork and shared journeys. Together, they unite the mural in a celebration of land and sky – a layered reflection on how we ourselves find our way, together and alone.

About misc.etc

misc.etc is a Leeds-based street artist and designer whose work merges playful experimentation with thoughtful visual storytelling. Working across large-scale murals and smaller print works, their practice blends graphic and illustrative elements to explore rhythm, abstraction and human experience.

Rooted in both traditional art influences and graffiti culture, misc.etc’s work navigates a balance between spontaneity and control. Each piece is open- ended, encouraging viewers to engage, interpret, and find meaning within the layered imagery.
