I suppose this is a sister piece to Reconnaissance (https://johnmacormacart.wordpress.com/2012/08/02/reconnaissance/).
It was made shortly afterwards and exhibits a similar structure with the large city like shape in the top left connected to its satellites via delicate vein like lines. I have often worked like this, loosely copying pieces that I consider to be moderately interesting and formally balanced. The ‘copied’ piece rarely resembles the original in detail.
The snaking quote, referring to Ā “the problem of making people love their servitude” is from Aldous Huxley.

Looking good! Like it.

Not analysing it yet but at first sight this spoke to me š Love the contrast of the mass and space.
Cheers!

thank you very much Nasyitah, first impressions definitely count š
Feels like a secret instruction which also looks handsome.
Thank you Nicola. ‘Secret instruction’ would be a good title for a piece.
These are like maps to another world, anyplace/noplace/everyplace one might wander. Love the mysterious possibilities they suggest.
Thanks Eileen, I’m definitely fascinated by all kinds of real and imagined maps and their inherent mystery and ideosyncracies.
I always return to this book for inspiration:
Thanks for the tip, I’ve added it to my wishlist – I love maps too. While poking around from that book listing, I discovered this blog:

Thanks Eileen, fascinating blog find!
Like the written text along the road/line/artery. Look forward to seeing it in the first person some time.
Sorry I mean: look forward to seeing it ‘in person’ not ‘in the first person’! Need to get someone to proof read my blog comments!
Hehe thanks very much Susan! I don’t tend to use text so much these days, or any I do is layered to become illegible.
Very cool!
Thanks!
