drawing movement

Whilst reflecting on Alys' work, I've discovered that many of his works are either inspired from his walking, or center around the act of walking...

Walking is not a medium, it's an attitude. To walk is a very immediate and handy way of interacting and eventually interfering within a given context - Francis Alys

This has given me food for thought, and got me thinking about how the creation of a path of movement does not mean that it is the actual course taken. There are many forces at play that would alter the path leading to entirely new and unforeseen circumstances.

I asked a passing pedestrian to take a photo of me. He was a man in his fifties who kindly suggested that I be vigilant as to who I gave my iphone to in this area...advice worth heeding. 

I am interested in the organic forms that are appearing on the paper as a result of the movement of my walk. They are an interesting contrast to harsh lines that are omnipresent in our environment.
