my corpse

My image was in originally in response to Chris's story of gathering Metrocards in the subway and finding a way to feel comfort in the city. Then I inherited Caitlin's corpse where she mapped part of the city on a palm print. My response to that was to take a piece of the city skyline and create my own map of places I find comfort/familiar areas of that piece of city. The image was printed small on a large piece of paper and was viewed with a magnifying glass or loupe to force the viewer to interact with the image in a more intimate way.
