Map

Anna Best 1991

Originally appearing on the sculpture guide as 'Covering Ground', this was later changed to 'Map' and could be found halfway up the exposed hillside of High Bowkerstead. It was, in essence, an inside-out hilltop. Anna Best wrote the following in 'Natural Order':

"Project to cast and invert a hill.

Inversion landscape: mountain/lake... Forest clearing: demolition site... Hill: elevation, island, plateau... Ground: surface, earth/sky boundary... Survey: traverse, path, curve...

Cast - invert

Process - transform

Cover - dismantle

Layer - remove

Contact - confront

Focus - structure

Follow - join

Remain - convolute

Scrutinise - turn

Reepeat - elevate

Fit - horizon

Section - fragment

Delineate - place
