 Notes on Maps 1994 |
|
|
'A map can be used to make a walk. A map can be used to make a work of art.
Maps have layers of information; they show history, geography, the naming of places.
A map is an artistic and poetic combination of image and language.
For me, a map is a potent alternative to a photograph, it has a different function.
It can show the idea of a whole work, not a moment.
A map can show time and space in a work of art.
Distance, the days of walking, the campsite, the shape of walking, can be shown in one concise but rich image.
In some of my works, I find the best places to realise particular ideas by first looking at a map.
A map can decide place and idea, either or both.
Maps can be read in many different ways, they are a standard and universal language.
I like to think my work on a map exists equally with all other information on it.
On a long walk a map becomes a familiar, trusted object, something to look at endlessly, without boredom.
I can look at the planned future and the completed past.
A map is a light.
A map could save my life.'

| How to link images from the file upload |

Once you have uploaded an image using the file upload system.
click on the file in question copy the URL in memory e.g CTRL + C or apple +C
Then create a new post and if the file is an image you have three options.

IMGR - - Use with text right
IMGL - Use with text left
example here
Code : img tag here // image location // close image tag  |

| Creevelea |
|
|
Creevelea Iron Works as it stands today; A genuine industrial ruin.
Also, I would like to apologise for not responding to any of the insightful comments left in reference to my posts. In fact, I hadn't even realised that they were there...Completely overlooked!
Will get around to some responses a.s.a.p
