'these shoes were made to travel'
graphite pencil on paper 2011
After looking at Vincents paintings of his own boots, and being fascinated by
his habits of walking vast distances, sometimes for days, I felt a deeper admiration for the
then, often-mocked dutch artist.
Walking as a means of travel in times gone by wasn't such a rarity as it is now.
Captain James Cook was another famous example I can think of who would walk
two hours to work and return, each day.
Puts our modern species to shame me thinks.
