trying to grow a sense of direction

My Uncle Don recently brought me gifts of old barn boards and an antique book of maps. I wanted to make a piece using both together.

I have no inherent sense of direction. I have difficulty with left and right. I have been trying to pay better attention and learning to use maps.

This piece is for the upcoming show Contagious with fellow Minneapolis artists Jennifer Davis and Tara Costello.

mmm hmmm, trouble with left and right, know that one all too well, but your sense of direction with the piece here, is, in a word, exquisite. Wish I were a lot closer to Minneapolis...

So beautiful and I love, love the maps!! I do well with north, south, east, west but am lost with right and left directions! I so love your work, you inspired me to learn how to cut stencils! Thanks so much for sharing, you are amazing.

this is really beautiful.i like how the "mapiness" is subtle because of the intricate textures you cut out.
