Silverpoint on Fabriano 780 x 1060 mm

Contour maps of each of Auckland’s volcanos have been centred and layered, their peaks and troughs existing all together at a single point. 

A tidying and compiling of data, a rearrangement of my home’s volcanic geography, creating a new mapping of impossible space, like folding a map the information is layered and complex.

Mapping is a way of understanding, of making sense of something vast and intricate, a means of compiling information, making something larger than ourselves visible and accessible. In bringing these maps together they no longer make sense, the information compiled has been stacked and compressed, becoming thick and dense, all the data seen all at once.
