Closing reception for Walking, Lost and Found exhibition
Artist statement: I am pilgrim #15749 on the Walk of Wisdom, a self-guided path that winds through the eastern part of the Netherlands. In July 2024, a dear friend and I spent eight days walking alongside fields and waterways, atop dikes, up and down hills, through forests and sandy heaths. We walked through towns and villages, over bridges and canals, in sunshine and in rain. Walking made new learning possible. I learned to know the feel of different surfaces through the soles of my feet. I learned to know the strength of my own body and the endurance needed to keep putting one foot in front of another. I learned to greet new neighbors as we repeatedly encountered brambles and nettles, yarrow and rowanberry, gradually attuning myself to the surroundings and learning to listen in this place. The eight-part text of this sound piece is a meditation upon the rhythm of walking, getting lost and found, the strange becoming familiar as we learn to walk in a new way. ***The piece on exhibit here is a 2-channel version of an 8-channel sound piece that I made at the Sound Studies Institute, University of Alberta, Canada, in January 2025.
