I didn’t sleep very well the other night. I find it incredible how much drivel goes through your mind when you are tired but sleepless. You want to sleep but for some reason your brain isn’t finished for the day and needs to keep going.

I started thinking about what might happen if your legs were attached the wrong way round. It became a rather heated debate in my mind as to whether one would still walk forward on backward legs or walk backwards looking over one’s shoulder.

Your legs are purposely evolved to move the rest of your body in a certain direction. To use them in reverse feels unnatural.

I considered building a working model of this using my artist’s dummy. I made a mental list of the tools I would need to remove the limbs from the artist’s dummy and imagined the procedure to be akin to a dangerous surgical procedure that may put the patient at risk.
