Statement

I make work about walking landscapes, examining the movement itself as a form of spatial poetics, as well as how social movements within a space are determined by it, but also how we can shape the ways in which it is used. My practice utilizes drawing and GPS tracking software to both document and generate aesthetic forms around pedestrian action. Thus I consider how the direct action of walking can be a means in which the landscape’s “text” is actively written, in the journey of the body as a line, and the social creation of the landscape as aesthetic composition.
