Walk-With-Me
Walk-With-Me is an artist led project to inspire people to walk, record and share their thoughts, images and experiences online. The site is dedicated to walking and the world around the walker.
If you've found one a thumbstick:
- 1. Take it for a walk
- 2. Leave a record of your walk on this site
- 3. Leave the stick somewhere for it to find a new walker.
The thumbsticks are cut from hedgerows in West Wales, made by the artist Peter Bodenham. Sticks have been numbered and purposely placed in the world. The artist hopes individuals will steal these abandoned sticks, take them home, and be inquisitive and generous enough to engage with this project. The sticks and web site will hopefully inspire you, the temporary custodian of the stick, to take a walk; either a short familiar stroll, a long journey or even a life-fulfilling odyssey! On return please post something representative of your experiences, thoughts or observations onto this site.
This could be in the form of a short text, drawing or photograph. For more information about how to do this, please visit the Instructions page. The custodian is then asked to send the thumb stick back out into the world to be found and undertake further encounters and journeys.
