Here is my walking in April and also January through April (and room for the rest of the year) in my work in progress "Dates in a Life Walking Project 2023", a year-long painting documenting the number of steps I walk each day. I have been documenting my steps in paintings since 2016.
The fabric is a monoprinted and stitched multi-colored grid. Iridescent Bronze background paint signifies the days days I am home or away vs. when I'm in the office at work, all of which have an influence on the number of steps I walk each day. Now that it's spring, I have more light for walking safely outdoors, and it's not as cold at dusk or after dark as it is in the winter.
Black icons are the number of steps by the thousand under 10,000, and the red icons are the number by the thousand 10,000 or over. Hopefully there will be more red icons in May because I didn't walk as much as I would have liked to in April.
