Walk The Walk: Day 3

It was a dreary day.  A consistent drizzle complicated the performance beautifully.  Armed with lavender umbrellas and safety orange work gloves the piece felt more like the kinetic sculpture Kate mentioned in her Tuesday talk, and less performative in nature.  The visual from my perspective was reminiscent of cogs in a machine, as the faceted disks of our umbrellas bumped and twisted like the mad hatter teacup ride at Disney world.  I feel like we've each reached a significant milestone in walking the walk- despite the prospect of the cold and the reality of achy feet, the task is much more doable.  Still, the ladder looms as a merciful beacon...

No walking motifs expressed themselves this time- I am curious as to whether that was just my mind/body acclimating me the process, and if they'll even be unnecessary going forward...  Stay tuned for Day 4.
