#ThreadandWord

Billie (Elspeth) Penfold is an artists who uses walking as a research tool USING poetry and wider readings to connect with with sites and events. Participants who collaborate in the walks are encouraged to record their experience through a menemonic system of knots in ropes.

Billie (Elspeth) Penfold

#ThreadandWord is a walk with sited readings of Cecilia Vicuña’s poem ‘Word and Thread’ which was written at Inverleith House in 1970.
The walk extends a walking practice which considers contextualised modernity. As we walk we will reflect on notions of time and timelessness, consciousness, memory and rhythm through sited readings.
 
In response to the impossibility of replicating or describing the experience of walking #ThreadandWord also explores the practice of documenting walks with threads and knots.
