Transverse Sections of Manhattan

Last Autumn I was in New York and one of the many things I did whilst I was out there was make a few new pieces of work.

The first is called Five Transverse Sections of Manhattan, and comprises GPS error traces from 10 walks across the island of Manhattan between East and West coasts (or as close as I could reasonably get).

Using a satellite underlay to match the GPS data to the appropriate roads

Today I tweaked the scaling of the traces to get them how I want them and did a few trial prints at A2 size. They look good!

It's always nice when the lines get a bit of space to breathe in

I’m pondering making this work available for purchase as an archive quality print. If you’re interested in owning one, let me know.
