Abstract
With this paper, I document a year-long art-based research project that explored walking, drawing, and painting. Using enabling constraints made from my methods and environments, I explore how painting could enact effects on me and the way I see the world. I use Barbara Bolt’s perfomativity as a lens through which to examine my work, in the form of questions. I explain what significance the subject matter of my paintings came to have. Through narrative, I describe the process of making the paintings as well as the effects they had on my practice. Finally, I answer the questions posed at the beginning, and look to the future of my teaching, painting, and learning.
