In the Footsteps of Sheila Hicks.

I belong to the walking artists network and have been following some lovely insightful pieces posted by fellow members. Titled : Walking in The Time of Virus. The wonderful thing about belonging to a community of walkers is that it is a supportive group and one idea leads to another.
This is something I started this week which I will be working on during self-isolation. My initial idea came through this work Promeneur ,by Sheila Hicks see image attached . This is a piece I have always loved.
It is a small weaving made on a little portable loom that is made of stretch bars. These were used by Hicks as private expressions or ramblings. Ramblings seems a particularly apt terminology. Hicks has made thousands of these since graduate school.

As time passes I will update this blog with more photos of walking weaves.
I miss walking with freedom and the time to do as I please, this is one way of taking some time to meditatively walk and think through weaving.
