Michèle Roberts is a poet and novelist, Carol Robertson an abstract artist. Both live in London. They choose walking as a means of exploring the differences in methodology between writer and artist. Words and images walk towards one another. Roberts records overheard conversations, street-talk, phone monologues. Robertson makes ten city walks, first recording them with a camera, then paints ten watercolours, each encapsulating a separate walk.
