- 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.
Another great video. The void is always a curious feature of your map, probably one of the most enjoyable elements. I hope that one day you'll allow allow the full set of your rules and cards to be published. I think a world full of maps following your guidelines would be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Woolly! We always appreciate comments. There is a world made by the Map rules, and its available on Ebay. Take a look!
