Mapas//Maps

Mapas//Maps has finally been published! Its got the piece from March in it, along with 52 artists from 23 different countries. You can flick through the entire book (or buy it!) here.

I really wish I had done a better job. Compared to all the other work it looks really dull and the typed page I included just doesn't fit with the rest of the book at all. Its a shame but never mind.

MASTODONTE: THE WORLD

I approached the Colombia based consolidating publishing house, MASTODONTE, with my work recently and I was invited to take part in their debut editorial publication of art and articles on the theme of Maps.

I based my entry on a poem by Henry Vaughan called 'The World', which was used in excerpt by Bertrand Russell in his 'History of Western Philosophy' to depict a pre-socratic vision of the world.

I saw Eternity the other night

I saw Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
All calm, as it was bright;
And round beneath it, Time in hours, days, years,
Driven by the spheres
Like a vast shadow moved; in which the world
And all her train were hurled.

- Henry Vaughan
