superimposed lines–
pick them up, examine
the landscapes beneath,
follow the intersections–
the map of bodyworn years
I chose the theme for Colleen’s #Tanka Tuesday prompt #192, Maps, but did not get a chance to post my response. When I pulled it out to look at it this morning it took awhile to remember my creative process.
I wanted to use a map of NYC and a self-portrait and layer them somehow. I had seen a layered piece of art that used holes cut in the top layer which I liked. The challenge was to make the holes work with the portrait underneath.
As usual, I managed to take off a few years from my face in my drawing, but otherwise I think it’s a pretty good likeness. Our faces contain many maps, but sometimes you have to look closely to see them.

I really like this. The sense of the hidden and what might be revealed.

Thanks Claudia. Much is still hidden I believe.

People are like icebergs (not the cold part but mostly what goes on is hidden beneath the surface…)

I suspect that’s true. Hidden even from themselves.

I like this, too, and I agree with Claudia.
I remember seeing art using maps. But now I don’t remember where.

Thanks Merril. I’ve always liked maps, and I’ve
been wanting to do some collages with them for awhile. There’s a woman who does wonderful quilt maps, although I can’t remember her name.
