Map Room

The following also applies to the Barcelona Maps Gallery Gallery:

Grids and Mapping seem to go hand in hand with each other and both have been sources of inspiration in my studio work.

My favourite room in the Old British Library was the Map Room.
The paintings in my ‘Map Room’ are temporal maps inspired by a combination of physical travel and mental journeying.

Just being alive requires engagement in a complex process of constructing personal thematic maps, as things change each map has to be drawn and re-drawn according to changing perceptions and circumstances.

As such they are maps that exist in the border areas of conscious and subconscious and help us to negotiate and make sense of our world. It is in these border areas or Interstices that I find most inspiration and where the Map Room paintings and drawings were conceived.
