relations, ships & wrecks
40 posts
i made maps that show a person's entire intimate and sexual history from the beginning to current day of his or her life. each map represents a single individual's lifespan. relations, ships & wrecks was a two-semester project for my bachelor of fine arts degree. it was completed by may '09. this website currently exists to document the process but has been on hiatus for the last couple of years as i have been busy with post-college things :) but i am poking at this again, so we'll see where it goes. no deadlines this time, for better or worse. take a look at the poster or read the proposal to get a better idea of what this is about.

I also found the poster I made at a later time showing the full map legend and with multiple experience maps overlaid on top of each other. Also in this photoset is a sketch image from when I was designing the legend (bottom left) and a photo from the actual exhibit (bottom right)

finally found the original project proposal for this. (many years later i think “mapping sexual experiences” would have been more accurate than “sexual history”)
PNG version is the image on this post PDF version available here: http://fluffypuff.us/proj/maps/propose_this.pdf

Time flows, but which way? This quarter I’m teaching an information design class, and my students and I were having a conversation yesterday about the ways time can be visually represented. The answer, predictably, is a timeline...
this is a short bit on looking at time and direction in non-standard ways. this project utilizes multiple directions- the most obvious of which is really not all that practical, or relevant to the purposes of the project.
it's a bit tight to follow the spiral month by month, year by year. but what fun is that? what were this person's septembers like? their summers? winters? the first or second half of their life?

picked up the mounted prints today. they look great, except there is a thin black sliver of an edge visible on four of them! (left side only)
super frustrating, don't have time to get them trimmed again. also picked up extra foamboard, adhesive and hanging wire.

Instead of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, you should have done it: Single kill, double kill, multi-kill, ULTRA KILL!
