The art and intentionality of what is and isn't there.
A map can only ever express that which was put on it.
I love maps. They are beautiful, artful, informative, and ridiculously powerful. Think about this: how would our modern world function without maps that delineate topography, climatic zones, property lines, national borders, transportation routes....
This post is forthcoming, after I do much more reading. Below are some links and readings that will be shaping my thinking.
