'Unfold a street map of London, place a glass, rim down, anywhere on the map and draw round its edge. Pick up the map, go out into the city, and walk the circle, keeping as close as you can to the curve. Record the experience as you go, in whatever medium you favour: film, photograph, manuscript, tape. Catch the textual run-off of the streets; the graffiti, the branded litter, the snatches of conversation. Cut for sign. Log the data-stream. Be alert to the happenstance of metaphors, watch for visual rhymes, coincidences, analogies, family resemblances, the changing moods of the street. Complete the circle, and the record ends.'
Robert MacFarlane, ‘A Road of One’s Own’ Literary Supplement, October 2005
'Robinson'
- figure 5, Digital print with hand annotation on 80gsm paper - limited
edition 841 x 594cm, £175Maps ultimately testify to our belief in the value of exploration, whether the compass is pointed inward or out.
The mind is a dynamic vessel; it does not travel according
to the limits of the compass rose, but moves by association. And when
the mind comes to rest, when it ceases its orientating leaps and shunts
and associations, we find ourselves back where we started where Here intersects
with Now.
