walk

An overheard conversation in the park.

A documentation of slowing down, grounding to my practice and taking my thread and cloth on a walk.

Something I'll fix and finish one day, made with a nifty software called Animation Paper.

It's been a busy month, and walking in the sun has been really filling me with all the right things. To be honest, I've not been submitting for a while because I've prioritised other things, been too busy, or whatever other excuse. The reality is, I really love making art for art's sake, and sharing the journey without too much perfection. So here are some unedited documentations of the spring walking energy in my camera roll: A body scan I painted with plant pigments to document feeling full of energy, shoes which I did not panic buy for an event because most times you already have enough things, and shoe polish is a much cheaper alternative!, and the beautiful blue sky, taken just as a cat walked out of shot.

Camels tied together walking beside Menkaure's pyramid. We got a discount to go inside the pyramid because we spoke arabic (not that well). Once inside, a piece of the pyramid fell from the ceiling and into my eye!

I've been trying to draw more as it's only getting more and more difficult. Keeping a sketchbook with myself at all times has helped me a lot. Unfortunately, changing from watercolor to whatever's closest to me happened, too

A simple ambient piece, centred around two texturally different field recordings. Both are recordings of me walking - one in mud, the other on a stony beach.

Used to be big on making zines and wanted an excuse to get back to it, so I made this dinky, silly zine romanticizing the walk I do twice a week to buy groceries :) Been super lucky to go on a lot of really breathtaking hikes in my life so far, but can't forget to celebrate the everyday things, too! Maybe the hardest part was trying to re-hash a physical object so it could be read (if you choose) on a website? I think we prevailed, I hope so. Happy spring!

Went for a walk and used the route pattern to create some designs. I thought the initial route looked a bit like a slender droopy old man or cartoon dog and imagined what it would look like walking along. I overlapped the two drawings against the window and rotated to find different patterns and motions.

typically when i make an animation, i find some reference footage and then trace each individual frame. this is the first time i've gone a step further and based each frame off of the previous drawing. it forced me to really think about how each part moves and how i need to draw it. extra detail: i made this on the day of the submission deadline, hours after i came back from A&E with a foot injury. so enjoy this small animation of a man walking, made by a man who for the time being can not.
