Walking Study #2

This piece is set in nature, with the intention that the viewer will happen upon the work like public art. Walking Study #2 explores the idea of walking.

Who walks? Why do they walk? When is walking a necessity vs. an obligation, vs. a privilege? What are the effects of walking, how long does one walk, why do we walk and when does it end?

Some walk for exercise. Some walk for enjoyment. Some walk out of necessity. Some roll, and some can’t walk at all. Sometimes people gather to walk in protest as an attempt to assert their frustration, needs and desires. Historically, Large groups of people have migrated en masse on foot as a fervent search for peace and a better quality of life. Buddhist monks walk as a prayer in motion for peace.
