The act of conscious walking for me is an act of appreciation as well as a meditative experience. I use this to understand and question the implications of the landscape I occupy and the impact I have upon it. This display shows my process of retracing, and rethinking my walks in different views and forms. This collection of natural items allows nature to truly speak for itself. In this piece I am merely a curator of nature’s already complete, sublime works. Through this celebration of walking I bring to light the importance of the British natural landscape, and suggest alternative ways of interacting with it. I aim to facilitate a wider appreciation of Britain’s dwindling, but ever present ecosystem through the eyes of a walker.
