Temporary Locations is a drawing that employs the language of cartography to map both physical and liminal landscapes. Commissioned for the Artist as Traveller seminar and the Trunk Show travelling exhibition, the work combines actual topographical data, Aer Lingus flight routes from Ireland and emotive responses to the drumlin landscape of North Leitrim. The magnifying glass viewfinder is engraved with a section of the Northern hemisphere star map.
