WALKING DISTANCE TP (MR) (28 Oct Release)

Merging the personal and the political¸ observation and contemplation¸ the author examines what her life is and wonders what it should be; what is expected of a thirty year old woman by society¸ by family and friends and by herself. She walks the streets of her London¸ creating it and herself -- gaining agency by being in control of her own direction¸ speed and momentum. Walking is both an internal and external experience. It's a time for self-reflection¸ for observing others and for imagining how we appear to them. What is expected of a person of our age¸ sex¸ and race¸ and how should that influence what we do and how we feel about ourselves? A poignant and contemporary meditation on gender politics¸ social commentary¸ and eighties movies¸ all interlaced with shards of autobiography and illustrated with a beautiful series of sequential and non-sequential watercolour images. Previously offered through other distributors.
