‘The rhythm of walking generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series of thoughts. This creates an odd consonance between internal and external passage, one that suggests that the mind is also a landscape of sorts and that walking is one way to traverse it’ - Rebecca Solnit

 

Harriet Boardman's practice engages with encountering the landscape through the experience of solitary walking. The work manifests itself in many different disciplines, working within the intersection of sculpture, performance and drawing. She investigates her relationship with the landscape, by drawing, placing and mapping herself within it. Place is also considered, in relation to geological material: chalk and flint.
