the conventional function of a map is to contain
universal symbols and keys; icons that people will recognize as
streets, monuments, etc. As in organized tours, they emphasize what
is commonly thought of as interesting and important.
i
collect personal maps people draw. one's memory and perception
of a place is very personal, so each is a reflection, however
small or large, of how the individual connects to their environment:
knowing, organizing, and understanding it.
in
short, each one is a small token of memory and experience, whether
created in order to help me understand a place, to direct me to
the nearest gas station, or as an answer to my persistant requests
to find the local gem of a strange little town. feel free to browse
