Statement

In 2004 I initiated a series of walks, entitled ‘A Walk on the Wild Side’ that considered Manchester as a living organism, explored the idea of an ‘expanded urban wildlife aesthetic’, and promoted the democratisation of ‘spatial planning’. From those Wild Walks a film was made and this toured as a gallery installation to Taiwan, China, Germany and the USA. Other walks followed. Last Summer (2010) I led one of the walking-as-art workshops in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, as part of the seven-day International Summer School of Arts and Sciences for Sustainability in Social Transformation, ‘ASSIST’, devised by Cultura21.
