littoral walk

In April 2006 I travel to Madagascar to work in an endangered area of littoral forest with the charity Azafady Prior to this I will walk a scale coastline of this area in South London using GPS.

In 2006 I will travel to Madagascar to work in an endangered area of littoral forest with the charity http://www.madagascar.co.uk..

In March I will use GPS to walk, in south London, a scale coastline of the outline of an area of Madagascan forest under threat by a mining project which will bring devastating changes.

100 prints of my large-scale performance-drawing will be for sale, with proceeds going to Azafady.

I will be in a region populated by the Antanosy people, the poorest people in Madagascar, working on projects providing a social and ecological infrastructure, health, education, lemur conservation and forest mapping using GPS.

It has been my lifelong dream to go to Madagascar. This London walk is an imagined sense of myself in a specific location; for me, somewhere between future projection, imagination and a dream.

I am part of Remote, a gallery exhibition in Hobart, Tasmania where Littoral Walk will be repeated by a third party on my behalf.
