Over the course of a year, Gaffney has walked over 3,500 kilometres throughout Spain, Portugal, and the South of France, with the aim of creating a body of work, which explores the subject of long distance walking as a means of mediation and personal transformation.
Gaffney’s intention has been to capture the essence of what has turned out to be quite a spiritual journey, in a series of images that express the experience of being immersed in nature and communicate a sense of the subtle internal and psychological changes that one may undergo while negotiating the landscape.
