09ABOUT THE WORK
A mythic atlas measuring 8 metres by 2.2 metres. Mountains, rivers, extraordinary creatures and ancestral stories meet within a single landscape.
The artist describes an outer and an inner world: a bird’s-eye landscape under ordinary light, and a network of totems and routes revealed under special illumination.
