The production was supervised by the master printer, Martino Mardersteig and the artist. Reflective mirrors were tipped in by hand. Edition is limited to 500 prints, signed and numbered by the artist. I have long been taken by the notion of topographical maps. The conception behind these maps and their separate history distinguish them from small scale, geographic maps.
Topographical maps seek to translate the intimate features of a place into a graphic representation.
The origins of this type of mapping are closely connected to the Land of Israel and Jerusalem. Examples from the early middle ages always placed Jerusalem in the middle of the map, right at the center of the world. As they developed they seemed to capture that magical world between fact and fancy, between geography and imagination. Belief, fear, folklore and faith became concrete in fascinating two dimensional worlds. My Dream Map is an attempt to recapture some of the mystery and charm of these early maps.
