10m Col Beta 2000 Commissioned by Guy Mannes Abbott for his exhibition ‘

walking is…

good for untangling a tangled heart.’

Inspired by the final shot of Modern Times Charles Chaplin in which the gamine girl and the tramp walk away from the camera.

I have met with but one or two persons in the course

of my life who understood the art of Walking, that is,

of taking walks, — who had a genius, so to speak, for

sauntering, which word is beautifully derived “from people who walked

about the country in the Middle Ages, and asked for charity, under pretense of going a la

Sainte Terre,” to the Holy Land.’ Thoreau’s Walden
