The Walk

 

DESCRIPTION

These photographs were made during our permitted one hour walks during 2020, quickly becoming known as ‘The Walk’.

Initially, I was struck by the overwhelming stillness, the roads and sky seemingly devoid of traffic, the local playground not just empty, but closed; everyone seemingly holed up within the comfort and safety of their own walls.

The walk guided me along old disused railway lines and through a roman fort, the passing of civilisations etched into the landscape. I began to explore metaphorical connections between my daily walk and that of our species, our global migration, exploring connections between our situation and the photographs I was beginning to make.

Although initially disconcerting, I found the silence along with the ability to deeply explore my locality therapeutic, a re-connection.

As a civilisation we are at a turning point. I am hopeful that collectively we can the right decisions.
