I love maps.
This piece is based on some English road maps from the
16th
Century, which, in absence of google earth plotted roads on long scrolls.
One night while having steak and mash at the Coopers
Arms I asked people what Newtown meant to them. Those important sites are
listed on this map.
The metal letters I bought in a craft store in Chicago
in 2008. The camel I picked up in the streets of Marrickville on one of my walks. I think it was part of a great find
including some Fuzzy Felt and some flash cards with rabbits on them.
I sewed the road, and created a scroll.
