#232squaremiles

Everyone has advice for an artist. Curators, brand people, friends. My Manhattan map has been progressing in fits and starts. Wrong paper, wrong size, needing to stay alive and eat in the city- through it all I’ve been collecting trash. I’m finally there and those damn opinions can be quieted. Still here. #232squaremiles #23squaremiles #cartography #nyccartographer #artpractice (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FOgkYgLf6/?igshid=13vsmjbl3t1v6

Back to walking. Is it just me, or is the people walking and looking at their phones situation getting worse? #232squaremiles Grand Central to Soho (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnt2E6MlHWu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oc06t8bg9vc4

・・・ Walking all over #NYC, I collect litter to create a series of maps for each borough. Each piece is cataloged and then placed in the location I found it. This is a section of 71 Square Miles: The Map of Brooklyn. Giving myself the task of collecting only paper and experiences has become a huge inspiration in my practice. Really looking at the world and becoming a part of neighbourhoods far and close allows me to imagine life in others’ shoes. Building a large #collage with materials made by countless other people gives me a brief glimpse into their worlds through their own words. #71squaremiles #232squaremiles . #cartography #cartographyart #cartographie #typography #typographydesign #typographyart #typographyartist #typographyillustration #anthropologiestyle #anthropologie #cityscapeart #sceneryart #mapillustration #mapillustrator #imagination #weareillustration #Illustration #FeaturedArtistOfTheDay #FeaturedArtistOfTheWeek #instaartists #illustratorsofinstagram
