Maps

My work is filled with?landscape?metaphors, which leads me into thinking about?maps.

Maps that show:

1. A landscape, representing a truth, with accuracy, and to a uniform scale
2. A landscape, representing what i care about, with bias, and scaled to interest or the contemporary
3. A landscape, representing things i do not know, populated by whispers and hearsay
4. What i’m thinking of, represented by words and their proximity to each other
5. What i know, represented by boundaries and borders
6. What lies beneath, represented by layers and strata
7. Terrain, represented by contours or moulding, showing peaks and troughs and uncrossable chasms
8. Connection, represented by roads, tramways, rail lines or commonality, shared beliefs, or proximity
9. Resources, represented by surplus and deficit, with overlays of power and control
10. The boundaries of the public and private, the owned and the free
11. Belief, and how it clusters, overlaid by the norms of culture and behaviour
12. Places that i have been to, but will not return to. Ideas that i will not have again
13. Shared spaces and communally owned ideas.?
14. How things flow, and how flow is controlled by dams, sluice gates, ideas, beliefs, or force.
15. How things have changed, and from what and into what
16. Things that never change. A map that is carved in stone.
17. The ephemeral, a map like a Polaroid, showing the impermanent in flow
18. A map of hidden meaning, which is only apparent from above
19. A map to help you get lost, which can never be used
20. A map of the self, which can never be read
