Predicated as a conceptual drawing project, this work will engage with latitude and longitude as invisible structuring lines, as well as the sextant, compass and sundial as interrelated tools that produce or engage with these lines and by which we orient ourselves; forming a base standard for perception of space, time and movement they become the means to conquer, control and subdue open spaces and the bodies within these spaces. Cartography, colonial exploration, the technologies of the enlightenment and the social ramifications of these tools inform this body of work.
 
The exhibition will be structured around an installation of two intersecting low lying walls that will traverse the gallery, one North to South and one East to West, they are intended to be literal lines of longitude and latitude and will be mapped out using a GPS and compass in order to align them with actual lines of longitude and latitude. These walls will be about 4” wide, they will reach wall to wall and be low enough in places for viewers to step over from one section into another. The intent is to carve up the architectural space of the gallery to create new areas, boundaries and experiences for bodies to move in. The Latitude line will extend out through one of the doors or windows, cutting across the balcony it will travel across the garden -- the external line will be mapped in chalk.
