Poem by Seamus Heaney

The Cooler Project, Made, Toronto, Ontario 2014

Walking is a passion of mine, a way of greeting the world, a way of being in the world. Walking has long been the subject and focus of many artists/writers. From Virginia Woolf, Walter Benjamin, the Surrealists to Richard Long and continues to evolve as an art practice.

In Walking the Lakeshore I takes us on a walking journey, one walk and many walks. Mark- ing time and change. Walking a most personal form of transportation, an ordinary but transformative way of using and “seeing” space. Perambulation, a connection to the world through the soles of one’s feet.

Walking has played a large part in my art practice from artists’ books to photographic instal- lations. The Secret Life of Objects, a 2005 Cooler Project at Made Toronto took us on an imagery journey following the Atlantic Ocean from Greenland to Newfoundland, and Time as Place, 2001, a walk around Dublin Bay an act of memory and of separation. In Walking the Lakeshore I use photographs, drawings, and objects found on my walks.
