Miranda Whall

Whall challenges the assumption that we are entitled to be what we are without labour or pain. Each quest confronts the notion that we can get through life – or that we are entitled to get through life – without having to earn our identities. Engaging with otherness is very different to imitating it. Engaging with otherness facilitates personal change and growth and this comes out of hardship. As we venture out beyond our familiar environments we learn to live with our hands, our feet and our hearts, we remember what the lives of those who walked before us never let them forget. We recover within us some of the native integrity of the wild.
