• I AM A HUMAN SEISMOGRAPH: a two-hour Walkshop presented at Walking Arts Encounters/Conference 2025 by Melinda Hunt
Focussing on the idea that walking and drawing fosters healing, my Walkshop challenged participants to set their own prompts or systems to make drawings while walking in the village of Psarades. As a seismograph responds to movements in the earth’s crust, the Walkshop’s 20 participants used an automatic approach to mark-making, responding to what was detected by all senses, often in combination with the body’s movement in space.
Afterwards, Walkshop participants gathered to share and compare the drawings and the systems each participant chose to generate them. Drawings were displayed, viewed, discussed and enjoyed. Participating in the Walkshop created an opportunity for participants – many of whom were not visual artists – to discover that being attuned to a deliberate interaction with the setting while walking and drawing is a means of experiencing the extraordinary in the ordinary.
