entry description
These maps go back to the 1960s. They describe reality. The works explore the bridge between what is seen and what is hidden. The maps contain technical details of direction that only a pilot would know. Working from my old maps that I used to use to pilot all over the country, I have constructed dreamlike images that reflect our lack of a compass to navigate today's reality.about the photographer
