32. Maps

Maps are an integral connection to the stars. They were originally created by way of the alignment of the land to the stars. Maps of early New Zealand hold a particular fascination and grounding to me for this project. They also map a history of the colonisation and development of this country. Included below are maps of interest in their relationship to the proposed sites for the installation of the projects sculptural elements. 

Books the images are taken from: 

First Map - by Tessa Duder

Singing the Trail - by John McCrystal

Edwards Legacy - David Elworthy & Ros Henry
