Comment by David Stafford on January 18, 2011 at 1:27am: eleftheria!

Comment by Michalis Kotsaris on January 18, 2011 at 1:21am: I know the right side of this map. But i like the other "means" of images - art give us freedom!

Comment by Laurence Roberts on January 17, 2011 at 11:09pm: they got one of the Rothko's upside down at a Tate Modern show in London a couple of years back !

Comment by David Stafford on January 17, 2011 at 11:03pm: Oh dear...it's upside down...."etoliko" is supposed to be the hair tie of a woman. At least that was my conception. But I guess this is as open to interpretation as anything else... The small barely visible circle is where Michalis lives on Konstantin Laskari street....

Comment by Michalis Kotsaris on January 17, 2011 at 3:31pm: I think that "map idea" inspires all about the many ways of art!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 17, 2011 at 1:38pm: That is amazing, Michali! David Stafford was able to minimalize the map to human form! Great work, David!

I never notice what forms and shapes maps could become...a whole series of map-man figures could be developed! I have Aitoliko (Etoliko Island) like a "pearl" on the figure's neck, and Mesolonghi becomes "to mati" on a bracelet. And look at all those komboloi beads above the hand to our right ;-) David's mail art inspires!
