This show stems from research and experiences I had during a sabbatical in 2016-17. Click here to see the Maps Everywhere blog I kept while on sabbatical.
There were two shows about maps: Maps Everywhere is presented in conjunction with Mapping Life in the The Harold B. Lemmerman Gallery at NJCU.

Maps can be used to get you get from point A to point B. Maps can also be used creatively to capture memories, explore personal histories and create narratives. The design of every map, whether printed or digital, is imbued with characteristics that tell us about the place, and even about the person who made the map. The line work, the typefaces, the colors and quality of the work are all clues to the message of the map. What is left off the map is just as important as what has been included. This exhibition brings maps to the forefront as a story telling medium.
The illustrative and personal works exhibited have been chosen for their visual and physical stories and will challenge the viewer to redefine the influence maps have in their lives.
