a walking piece (2005-06)
Walking with Trish Littler from Vendel, Sweden to Odessa, Ukraine.
This project came out of a longing to work with the formless.
Make a line where the body is the pencil,
a drawing that only exists in time.
Explore how our collective memory is recorded in the landscape,
and see our path as a way of linking
places that have a strong historic charge or other symbolic value.
Reading the landscape as a story with our whole bodies
rather than with eyes and mind.
Feet touching the ground ,
and through intake of food and water - the walk became
a filtering of the landscape through the inside of our bodies.
Look at the concepts of time and space and how
they change with the slowness of our movements.
