Description:
"Walking with Thomas Hardy" is an exploration into the emotional journey of Thomas Hardy following the death of his wife Emma. It moves through realisation, anger, the undoing of self, a feeling of unfairness, and acceptance. During the piece, Hardy copes with the loss of Emma by denying the very real troubles he had with his wife and creating a beautiful unreality that he comes to accept as truth.
