A Recent History

I read maps - lots of them.

When I was little, my parents used to give me old road atlases. (I probably spent more time rearranging and reading maps than books.) I used to cut them out carefully plotting my courses, tagging cities I wanted to see, and configuring the miles. When I saw Selflesh on Etsy I was reminded of the beauty of maps. Selflesh’s art is beautifully crafted and sophisticated especially the way she plays with the combination of anatomy and maps.

Speaking of maps, I have some to study when I get home tonight. Three more days, and I’m leaving on a jet plane….
