Maps are spectacular in their ability to represent the world with such specificity, from the points and dips of coastlines to the tributaries where a river runs into the sea. At the same time they reveal so little of the actual surface of the earth. It is for this reason that maps create in me an undeniable sense of wanderlust. If the world is indeed small enough to fit on globe that sits on my desk, then why not try to see it all for myself? From an aesthetic point of view I find maps to be stunning. I love to trace the organic lines of borders and rivers and to see where a soft yellow fades into green and meets a light blue.
