Promenade Corinne McCaig
verb - Take a leisurely public walk, ride, or drive so as to meet or be seen by others Oxford English Dictionary This place is not emptiness but a shadow- an Eden in which every seed was planted.
Tutor: Frank Lyons
I do not feel its vacancy. On a pleasant afternoon, I walk along the canal and ponder the barge-dwellers sheltered from the tumult of the road above. Populated by a collection of singular objects, each placed with absolute precision. I know every inhabitant of this glorious nest, but I do not see a single person. Give yourself to the place that you inhabit, and you are retained in that place, ready to be discovered. To walk within the town walls is to read its hidden stories, where everyday journeys become something magical and the city becomes a museum- your museum!
