Maps are a way of moving forward and tracing where we have been. I am creating imaginary maps by photographing linier texture in the art studios. By taking images from a place I am familiar with and pairing them with text, I hope to bring awareness to the fact that our lives are what we make them to be. Everyone makes choices, either good or bad, that shape the way our lives play out.
Throughout the rest of the semester I plan to continue exploring the idea of imaginary mapmaking. I will alter the image both on and off screen. Adding text to the images in a poster like way will allow the viewer to relate the image more to his or her life.
I will have these maps printed on backlit film multiple times and work on layering them for a topographic effect.

I feel like these images are somehow tied and connected to the Ashland Map you were making and I would really like to see it! Especially if they are meant to build on one another :D
Laura -
Haven't seen you this week! I was going to talk to you in class but I guess I will post on the blog for now. I'm not sure about the addition of text or specifically the type, size, and placement of the font. Can you talk more about your intentions...
