Locator Map and Terrain Squares, Haydon Installation (2010)

Using graphite, I hand drew Nebraska—every town, city, railroad, park, river, lake and creek—to scale (1”= 2.75mi) on 12” squares of Tyvek which I sewed together. The 95 section numbers are hand-embroidered in Braille. The completed map is 7’ (h) x 15’ (w); trapezoidal sections at each end reflect the earth’s curvature. Each square is top-stitched with a double line and the state border is top-stitched with a triple line.
