Art and Sole

By Kalman Zabarsky, BU Photo Services

This project started out as a look at the variety of footwear on campus. It became an odyssey when I realized feet and footwear are not only expressions of fashion, but also of science, art, and athletics.

Feet were made before wheels.

Foot fetishes of Lisa Giallonardo, SAR clinical professor of physical therapy. She was given the Golden Foot Award when she left Northeastern to teach at BU "because I love managing foot problems 11 all kinds 11 from the professional runner's to the elderly person with hammer toes."

It is sweet to dance to violins
When Love and Life are fair:
To dance to flutes, to dance to lutes
Is delicate and rare:
But it is not sweet with nimble feet
To dance upon the air!
-- Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol

I hear in the chamber above me
The patter of little feet.
