I begin making my artistic provocations by collecting natural materials that I am able to find on a trail where I walk daily. At the beginning of this project, my natural materials are primarily fall leaves. I mainly place them on a tree stump which serves as my canvas as well as on the ground nea

I haven’t finished it yet, and the project and my movement of thoughts will continue. In this post, I will share my first and post a/r/tography experience. My very first class as a

Walking Through Time is a three-month a/r/tographic journey through a practice of contemplative walking inquiry from the question "how far do you need to walk before you have moved?" to "how much do you need to learn before you become learned?" Each proposition is open to many answers. This

1. Go to a place in or around your university and map the materiality and relationality of the walk. 2. As a walking group, discuss these experiences: - How does walking inform who we are? - What does it mean to be from a place and out of a place? - In exploring relationships, what does it mean to

Our Mapping A/r/tography study group at the University of British Columbia wrote a paper that explores walking as a form of inquiry. In this work, we makes theoretical links between a/r/tography and walking methodologies and we explore three walking propositions. As a result of these practices, we t
