Walking and Drawing
(Australia)

I am a visual artist living and working in Sydney Australia. I acknowledge the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation as the traditional owners of the land on which I live and work. This land was never ceded. My walking drawings are a kind of kinaesthetic seismograph, capturing not just what is seen, but what is sensed and felt, and the action of my body as I move through space. I have an experimental drawing practice - I walk and draw. While walking and drawing I am exploring connections to place, traversing both the visible landscape and the invisible landscape of memory. When the visible and invisible combine, an atmosphere is generated and documented. I call these works ‘perceived landscapes’; they are a sensorial mapping of a site and its associated atmosphere.
