Walking Distance

Walking Distance is Lizzy Stewart's poignant and
contemporary essay on the experience of being a
woman out walking. Merging the personal and the
political, Certainly! Here’s the text without spaces:
observation and contemplation, Lizzy
examines what her life is and wonders what it should
be; what is expected of a thirty year old w o m a n by
society, by family and friends and by herself. She
walks the streets of her London, creating it
herself. Gaining agency by being in control of her own
direction, speed and momentum. Walking is both an
internal and external experience. A t i m e 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
Here it is without spaces:
what we do and how we feel about ourselves.
A meditation on gender politics, social commentary
and eighties movies, interlaced with shards of
autobiography and illustrated with a beautiful series of
sequential and non-sequential watercolour images.
