This painting represents an imaginary overhead view of Northern France in winter, taking into account the region's history, and part- informed by googlemap. The 'pointers' are filled with images derived from those taken on a particular journey from Paris to Calais, through the night, in snow, by two different people with an old Leica and new mobile phone respectively.The palette in the painting is informed by the snow-coloured landscape, and sodium-vapour lighting along the route.
