both positive and negative, improvised maps continue to
tell stories and trigger memories
this map contains within it the memory of that scrambled, rushed feeling
of being both disoriented in an unfamiliar place, and in a hurry to be
on time for an important meeting in this unfamiliar place. at
the time, i was at a coffee shop where i had accidentally left a bag of
art supplies (which disappeared in less than 24 hours), so the barista
had scrawled this map to direct me to the store i'd attempted to describe
- i knew it was somewhere around there but couldn't discern one block
from the next. the art store actually was not in the vicinity
of wherever this map was supposed to lead me and i had to ask several
others for directions. the horizontal street is supposed to
spell out "broadway" and the vertical intersection remains a
mystery.
