Shadow Walks

Shadow Walk. Video, 5:14 mins. 2022

"Shadows can represent the absence and presence of material form, and the unconscious relationships to self and the immaterial. Exploration of the human silhouette as a moving shadow is an embodied act that references transitional states of being. The Shadow shifts and moves position, advances and retreats, disappears and reappears within the landscape as we move in tandem. I refer to these as my “shadow walks” and have incorporated them into deep listening “presencing” walks as part of my process for their connection to transitory states. When I choose to document these walks by recording them on my cell phone, I focus on the Shadow as its own separate identity. It’s a dance between myself and Shadow, each of us taking the lead on where and how we move." ©2024
