'Small Worlds'

The marks have been made by snails grazing on algae with the rasping action of a spiky tongue. Year upon year they etch chaotic trails on abandoned surfaces, marking time and leaving us with rambling encryptions.

The patterns in nature seem to replicate on both micro and cosmic scales. Small etchings on the side of a derelict building can look like entire swathes of earth in a satellite image.

Titles are drawn from mediaeval times when the cartographic metaphor placed the Earth in a philosophical and religious setting. Even now, whenever a map is viewed, "perception always intercedes between reality and ourselves”. Ann Marie Barry
