The website of Rosie Parsons presents the work of an artist whose practice intersects with walking, mapping, and the experience of landscapes. The content highlights Parsons’s explorations of place through durational walks, reflecting on the temporal and sensory dimensions of movement across terrain. Her projects often engage with relationships between embodied experience and geographical or historical contexts, using walking as a method of inquiry and artistic production. The site includes examples of Parsons’s collaborative and solo projects, exhibitions, and events that emphasize the layering of memory, environment, and narrative in public spaces. There is documentation of artworks that incorporate drawing, writing, and walking-based performances, underscoring an interdisciplinary approach to understanding and expressing place. The work situates walking not just as physical travel but as a critical practice within contemporary art and cultural geography.

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.
