Over the last year, I have focused on getting to know the spaces I inhabit and celebrating what in the past I might have overlooked. I spent last summer getting to the know the city of Philadelphia as I tracked my daily travels through the city grid. I spent this fall walking a more organic path through the woods near my studio - an area I passed by for two years without stepping foot off the driveway. This past winter I traipsed around London with my husband and discovered the shapes of my travel. This spring left me following a river I have driven along my entire life. Now, this summer I find myself back in Philadelphia, so where to? Each series of walks and the work that grows out of it has a set of parameters.
Here are this summer's:
1) Celebrate the search for something ordinary.
This summer it is a good cup of coffee (or, to be fair, of tea).
2) Search for new spaces to explore.
My iphone will randomly choose places around me to set off to.
3) No repeats.
Away we go!
