Walking is a motion easily linked with language, to walk is to string together a series of gestures or poses creating a trailing line through space just as language strings together a series of words creating a line of thought. In both instances the walker/thinker has many choices by which to form that trail or thought. While each step/word exists in and of itself it also connects to the previous step/word and carries all the possibilities of a next step/word. Walking and language come together in View Point / Point of View with a series of concrete word markers that focuses more on the connection of one step to another than each step in and of it self. Six markers follow a path leading from a hidden vantage point to a point of display.
