Participants were invited to start to walk as if to their homes, following as straight a line as possible. Prompts were given that predetermined stopping and reflective points based on Fibonacci sequences. As artists came from Australia, the USA, Greece and the UK, their routes led off in very different directions.

Formal education teaches how to stand, but to see the rainbow, you must come out and walk many steps on your own.
