World Mapping

2008

A collection of hand-drawn maps detailing personal geographies

Participants in the project receive a postcard. Instructions printed on the card direct them to draw a map of the world on the reverse of every place they have been, varying size and detail depending upon each place's importance to them. They return these cards via the mail. 18 of the maps are displayed below.
