In “Wandering and Walking: Facing the Unknown,” I share my three month “walkabout” in Scotland and Spain. Fascinated by the convergence of sea, sky, and soil, I focused on the Inner and Outer Hebrides in Scotland, and the countryside and coast of Catalonia, Spain. Alluring images illuminate my journey and the process of wandering, or as cultural historian and author Rebecca Solnit calls it, “getting lost.”

After 35 years creating vibrant art and films, I felt an inexplicable urge to disconnect from my familiar world and explore foreign lands with no agenda except to walk. Unsure whether I was daft or sage, I nonetheless shelved my Art Sparks book proposal and documentary film project (with filming “in the can”).

Traveling solo on public transportation, lodging with locals, and walking on country roads in remote areas, I discovered some of wandering’s surprising benefits. These include opportunities to open oneself to fresh perspectives and insights, forge other identities, and “create new maps” (neurologically and psychologically). Foremost was the possibility for newfound vitality by facing and embracing the unknown. In conclusion, I share what has changed for me now.
