The “Flow” series is part of my exploration into complexity theory. In these drawings based on photocopied maps of my home environs present and past, rivers (Fraser and Seine) and roads resemble arteries, neurons, branches and roots. Human settlements become cellular and subcellular entities, These road maps are like maps of the internet, maps of the human body. Towns and cities are nodes, sites of information processing and exchange.
