‘A Walk charts my experience with the environment that surrounds me. Each step poses questions about the experience of my body and mobility in these particular areas, as well as the diverted growth of flora as influenced by the urban environment (as seen in Marrakech and Lagos). A Walk is a banal everyday routine and also acts as a ritual sculptural instrument, suggestive of an engagement with the spiritual, immaterial and sacred in the quotidian ritual acts we engage in such as walking.
As I walk, I am taken by the idea of a vast invisible circulatory system within and around me, to which I am connected. Using the motifs of mapping, journeying, growth and nature I try to make sense of the new connections I am making. As I 'Walk' I think about how I can mend a rupture, stitch a gash, and put the pieces back together of something, perhaps a body fragmented in the landscape.’
