i've always thought of the idea of 'lace,' real or imagined, to be a staggeringly interesting part of who people are and how they identify themselves.
after spending saturday tubing down the rapids in the elora gorge i went to my friend terry's to drink and listen to the 'you forgot it in people' album. a conversation got started up comparing that album to a landscape, and it all seemed to make genuine sense.
it wasn't until later that night when i walked into terry's room and saw on his wall a group of maps; british columbia, cuba, where terry spent half of the last year, and southern ontario, where nearly all of us have spent nearly all of our lives.
the maps sort of serve as the strangest clues into who terry is. it is possible to hear him speak of a location or see it in photographs but the experience is always lost on anyone who was not there in the moment. to me maps excentuate this aspect of experience in a big way. they have an amazing ability for capturing my imagination and recalling every twist of a river's run. elora gorge is on the map, but the way that it can suck you under and bash you between its rocks is not.
saturday was a good day.

that was far too long an explaination for a not-so-worthy drawing
