Artfully Learning Audio Series Episode 20: Walk Like an Artist

Walking shares similar common traits with many traditional art making techniques. This is because the conscious, subconscious and physical ways that we move through a space align with the somatic, expressive and intellectual processes of drawing, painting and sculpting. Artist Paul  Klee famously described his explorations in drawing as, “an  active line  on a walk, moving freely, without goal. A walk for a walk’s sake.”  

My guest on this episode is Ellen Mueller, who has written a comprehensive book on the art of walking, titled Walking as Artistic Practice. Ellen and I discuss the utilization of walking as an artistic process that leads to more  mindful understandings of ourselves, others and the spaces we are present in.
