I have recently completed an MA in Fine Art, where I spent the best part of three years trying to figure out what kind of walking artist I am. My project, Walks With Other Artists (2018-present) started out as an attempt to answer a friend's question, 'What is the difference between an artist walking and a non-artist walking?' by inviting artists out on individual day walks, where we would discuss the question and anything else that arose.

The project developed quite quickly into more than that, and I discovered that while the walking might not necessarily be the work, it certainly informs it. A full write-up will be published in the autumn of 2020.

Other work inspired by walking includes film, spoken word, and drawing.

oversupinate

People who jog, run, and sprint have their share of problems that slow-moving people can barely comprehend. One is oversupination. As the OED defines it, to oversupinate is “To run or walk so that the weight falls upon the outer sides of the feet to a greater extent than is necessary, desirable, etc.” A 1990 Runner’s World article gets to the crux of the problem: “It’s hard to ascertain exactly what percentage of the running population oversupinates, but it’s a fraction of the people who think they do.” Credits to Mark Peters.
