Art and walking blog of contemporary artist Chris Page
The initial walk was taken on July 19, 2015 on the grounds of the Clark Art Institute. it was planned as a public art walk. An incoming thunderstorm forced walk to be executed quickly. The two photographic sets below represent different aspects of the walk. The first set is before the rain as the storm approached. The second is just as the rain became heavy.

Fifteen minutes of watching clouds pass by the sun using my camera as a shield to protect my eyes on October 15, 2014 at Wentworth Farm in Amherst MA.
On June 06, 2014 I took two walks which flowed into one experience. The late afternoon walk was in Hadley, MA in the open fields near the Connecticut River and in the evening at the Wentworth Conservation Area in Amherst, MA. These walks became the basis for the show All in a Days Walk at the State House in Boston in the late summer of 2014.
Watching a cloud disappear over six minutes from 10:20–10:26am while walking Wentworth Conservation Area on May 19, 2014.

This is the first "Sky Walk" where holding attention for a specific duration constitutes the work.
