Entangled Dialogues: approaches to walking and drawing our contested tracks

This paper explores some of the philosophical, political and visual questions being considered in my current creative practice-led research. I will unpack how my artwork is grappling with a complex entanglement of ideas and images through notions of journeying, multiplicity, enfolding and knotting. Like all entanglements the ideas and images are fluid – sometimes reflecting, sometimes repeating and sometimes conflicting themselves. The threads, shreds, strings and lines of thought and material, are intimately entwined in a web or nest of possibility, and much uncertainty. I often grapple with the order in which to tell the story. Like the way we set out for a particular kind of walk; the paths we choose are sometimes motivated by the bigger questions that drive us, and sometimes the intimate and tactile that embrace us.
