I’m very pleased to be curating the next eight weeks of the Huntly Art Reader.

Hi Anna,

Here is my first reading for HAR…

I want to start with a book I’ve been dying to sit down and conquer forever. Wanderlust, by Rebecca Solnit. I’ve chosen the first chapter and initial intro and look forward to seeing how this could set a plan for future HARS.

I’d like to use the eight HAR readings to explore theory and practice behind walking as an art and the art of walking. I’d like to explore the crossovers of politics, sociology, environment, sexuality, art and walking.

As well as theory, whilst I’m up in Huntly I’d like to do some experimental walking HARs.

I look forward to sharing and collectively unfolding thoughts, ideas and inspirations as we wander/march/pace through the readings!
