Instructions to draw your walk: sculpture | Sofía Garrido

Instructions to draw your walk by Sofía Garrido is a collaborative publication born from an instructions manual that invite several people to draw their walk, during routes which have been usual in the past, or are usual at the present.

The collected stripes are dictated by the body, not by the mind. They are abstract textures that make visible involuntary gestures, sincere and spontaneous gestures.

The result is an involuntary scan (similar to asemic writing), in which stains, steadiness, and the thickness of the stroke become the narrative elements.

‘Instructions to draw your walk: sculpture’ is a translation of the collected stripes into sculptural language, generating paths that can be traced and palpable, assigning a texture, a relief and a materiality to the physical act of walking.
