Walking Artists and Projects

A focus on walking and the creation of walking artists is a significant component of my more recent practice, including creating fictional walking artists, and interviews and exhibitions around the practice of walking. This year, 2025 I became a member of Australian Walking Artists and have been included in an exhibition and publication.

Since 2004 I have largely focussed on creating artists who walk, interrogating ideas of authenticity and authorship, the original and the copy, fiction and non-fiction, and the everyday and the heroic—via the figure of the walking artist. As a devoted pedestrian, these walking artists came out of my own interest in walking and my curiosity in the ever-expanding trope of the walking artist.

A number of my walking artists have arisen from documentation, and performances on long distance walks, regular local walks along promenades and waterways, and excursions to specific sites.
