About Me
- Jerry Gretzinger
- Jerry's Map In the summer of 1963 I began drawing a map of an imaginary city. The work started as a doodle done in the spare time I had while working at a tedious job. I continued to add to that map through the years until, in 1983, I set it aside to put my free time to other use. The Map was stored in the attic of our home in Cold Spring, New York. It gathered dust. My son, Henry, found it one day while rummaging around. He brought it down to me and asked what it was. Seeing it then triggered me to dust it off and continue the project. It now comprises almost 3100 individual eight by ten inch panels. Its execution, in acrylic, marker, colored pencil, ink, collage, and inkjet print on heavy paper, is dictated by the interplay between an elaborate set of rules and randomly generated instructions.
Hi Jerry... I just saw "Jerry's Map" on dump.com and was almost brought to tears when I realized that you have done something that resembles my personality and my type of creativity to the fullest!!! I absolutely love it and wish I could work with you in your work. I am a big fan of the current computer games that exist today (Sim City, and Civilization) and am infatuated with how they work because of the realism that they offer... much like your piece of art itself.. :) please email me at rocketman19.zach@gmail.com ... I would love to be involved in your work .. My name is Zach and I am a student at the University of Central Florida.. ( W O W )!!!
