{"product_id":"sounds-of-walking","title":"Sounds of Walking","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Sounds of Walking I present and discuss three groups of artworks that I created during the course of my creative practice PhD. \u003cbr\u003e\nI explore how it is that I know the world as a sensate embodied walker. \u003cbr\u003e\nI develop what I came to call replicated walksÑwalks made more than once in the same place. Begun in order to re-configure time, they also led me to extend my consideration of place beyond that defined by geography, to place defined by biological phenomena or socio-cultural coherence. \u003cbr\u003e\nI describe my emerging ideas of human-scale of place and my underlying ideas of island-ness. Initially I worked on real islands, walking circumferential routes and those defined by chance procedures. From this I developed an imaginary island in the foothills of NorthumberlandÕs Cheviot Hills; made from the human-scale of my embodied walking this led to my creation of an imaginary pandemic island of containment, created in a city, in my locale, made, and made real, by the traces of my embodied walking. \u003cbr\u003e\nAlongside sound works Walking Words present poetic text in forms (concertina-fold books, scripta continua, scrolls) that requires walking to engage with it, and that also function as metonyms for my original walking act.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Eccles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44934898057377,"sku":"9781111115789","price":43.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/rm8djdk-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1748281287","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/sounds-of-walking","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
