In four different instances, subjects were asked to describe the personal, bodily movements that would be involved in traveling from the location at which he or she was speaking, to a place in the remote, geographical distance. The sound and descriptive content of these recordings were then construed into marks on paper. The process of creating these marks was a combination of iterative/mechanical methods, as well as subjective/poetical interpretations.

These were originally presented along with the recordings as a combined visual/sound installation at Bennington College in Bennington, VT. Click the play button to the far right to hear the story told by Brian. This corresponds to the large drawing on the immediate right.
