This time following the lead of Deveron Projects up in Huntley Scotland and a walk initiated by international call-out to their Slow Marathon Project. (https://www.deveron-projects.com/events/slow-marathon-2020/)….walk anywhere and record or estimate distance. The results sent to Deveron and the distances added together to see if collectively and over a period of time, we can circumnavigate the world. In addition, another linked project: ‘Under one Sky’. While out walking, images made of the sky emphasizing that no matter where we are, we are together under one sky. These images are sent to artist Iman Tajik who will then create an art work from all of our skies.
I walked six miles along a route I have enjoyed repeatedly through lockdown. I chose to structure my walk with stopping points based upon boundary crossings – rivers, parish boundaries, field boundaries, property boundaries. I got slightly distracted by a flock of flighty corvids too.
