Art and human geography have long been intertwined. As early as fourteen thousand years ago, people scratched marks into rocks that appear to be at once art and cartography. When landscape painting emerged in Flanders and Northern Italy during the Renaissance, they did so hand in hand with advances in architecture, map-making and navigation. Does knowing where we are ground us? Does it make us feel safe? Is mapmaking more than a need to organize and define the world? Do boundaries say more about human needs than topography and political divisions? In this GPS world, does knowing where we are at any given moment guarantee that we’ll never get lost? For me, mapping is a kind of road trip or record of an action, it can be a way to revisit past events, critique the status quo, or project future developments. A map can also become a form of elemental portraiture.
