Just started a rust piece tonight with a 9' long river of tea down the center. <br /><br />I have You Are Here. Fantastic book. It seems maps are EVERYWHERE in artist work now. Not sure if it was always that way or if I am just tuned in more. Have you seen "Maps are Territories, Science is an Atlas" by David Turnbull?Pat Vivodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411887608636024114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-28310406709115969512010-07-27T14:11:55.031+09:302010-07-27T14:11:55.031+09:30I see that I am several blog posts behind here but...I see that I am several blog posts behind here but wanted to comment on maps and mapping-- I also have been including maps in some of my collages and collect old maps - the blotchier the better-- I don't know if it is the markings I like or the idea of the map depicting journeys and directions. Another book you might look into is THE MAP AS ART by Katharine Harmon.layershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10991288165260934778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-82978619432723092812010-07-26T20:01:30.068+09:302010-07-26T20:01:30.068+09:30Maps have long had a fascination for me too.

I like the idea of maps of different kinds, maps that take you to different 'whens' perhaps, maps that never take you to the same place twice...such magic in them!

One of my ...Perhaps of interest, maybe not, but...<br /><br />One of my children's favourite books is My Map Book by Sara Fanelli, including such things as 'map of my stomach.' Gorgeously illustrates a child's world and also challenged me on what I think of as a map. Anyways, we love it :)<br /><br />Hope you are having a lovely day!<br />xo,<br />JeanaJeana Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606307055785738209noreply@blogger.com
