the epiphany cast

Maps corner

I had a fantastic evening. Thanks to everyone who came along, chatted and drank and bought paintings and joined in the mapping bee - people gathered round a big round table with their heads bent, drawing features in on printouts of the maps: magnetic anomalies, pterodactyl, wee boats, a series of tubes, spiral towers, panicked pigs fleeing into the sea, an island of surprisingly pleasant exile, a BMX park, a town called Peristalsis…

I’d filled a folder with blank maps so café-goers could draw on them and post them in the box provided throughout the month of the exhibition. But you guys almost ran me out of maps. There were only three left at the end of the night. I’ll have to go back with another sheaf of them tomorrow. I am not complaining; this is a very good thing.
