The Walk
The Walk centers on a mother walking daily with her daughter, discovering a field of milkweed, and waiting for the seed pods to open. Through the unfolding of words and images, the viewer is invited to reflect on patience, mystery, and darkness - the place where ideas are conceived and formed, much like the seeds in the pod. Featured in the book are close-up images of the milkweed pod, coupled with two narratives - one written by artist/author Valerie Carrigan, the other a diary excerpt by the nineteenth-century Swiss philosopher Henri-Frederik Amiel.
