Experiments with maps

I've finally got back into the studio.  It's been hard to remember what I do when I begin making new work, but these experiments have got me started.


This one makes me think of the way that I drift from reality to memory to fantasy, particularly when alone on a journey.

When I am in a place that I used to know well but haven't been to for a long time, my memory of it is often inaccurate.  I remember individual parts, but have lost the connection between them.


Do places remember the past?  Do they remember when they were other places?  Does a coast-line wish it was a mountain again?
