My artistic and research practice focuses on walking, with a canine companion, as an extension of aesthetic walking practice, and is informed by post-humanist philosophy and its application within the fine arts, through embodied autoethnographic walking methodologies.
Operating at the intersection of fine art practice, human geography, critical animal studies and ecology, my research seeks to reframe the humble act of the ‘walkies’ as a co-authored act of ‘making’ or ‘performing’ together. The ‘walkies as method’ offers a space where the human/canine has equal agency and where sensory limits complement each other in the generation of the walk, as an artistic event, through an active choreography, based on intuition, instinct and improvisation.
