Synopsis

An artist's observation of the way people walk. Ryan Larkin ("Syrinx," "Cityscape") employs a variety of techniques-line drawing, color wash, etc.-to catch and reproduce the motion of people afoot. The springing gait of youth, the mincing step of the high-heeled female, the doddering amble of the elderly-all are registered with humor and individuality, to the accompaniment of special sound.
