Wandering, a little lost, overwhelmed by the tall buildings of a large city, memorable shapes reveal themselves as markers of location. Paper maps folded and re-folded, to better way-find in the absence of helpful technologies, are brought to mind.

(Note: When rotated clockwise through 90 degrees, this work transposes itself into a rural setting, the skyscrapers become barns, urban folds become fields)
