Six Sheep Skullmaps (Mapping the World at 1:1 series IV)

By  Alice Forward 2014 - 2015

The artist

Six graphite rubbings on Japanese paper hang from a nail in the wall, shifting slightly in the breeze as anyone passes by. These are maps of the entire surface of six sheep skulls collected in and around the Rheidol Valley over a period of six months.
