These lines were captured as tracks with a hand-held GPS. They represent simple daily activities, driving to work, shopping, visiting friends, walking around the neighborhood or riding a bike around the park. Some ordinary trips create interesting lines, while some beautiful journeys create tracks lacking visual interest. The emerging patterns anchor my memory and trace narratives with simple lines. With the absence, in most cases of specific representational imagery, the simple line create a memory track, The imagery used then represents more imaginary spaces, equally real representations of places and ideas, facilitated by the Internet and other tools of mediation.

I am interested in the satellite and Geographical Positioning System with their histories, as military spy tools. As in my earlier work I am still interested in the reconstruction of nature and  a blurring of lines between global perspectives and domestic spaces and the use of tools or technologies within the traditions of the hand-made.

Although invisible in the work, my body is agent of these drawings. The tracks, allow me to move in time and space to create links between all the things that interest me and that are connected through me in my lived daily experiences.

My recent project “Walking a Line’ is part of ‘Digital Threads’ a web project involving 5 artists, hosted by the Textile Museum of Canada, launched in fall 2007.

For more details on my research into GPS and Satellite technoogies look at my research paper presented at the TSA (Textile Society of America) symposium in Toronto in 2006, entitled 'Walking a Line: GPS and Satellite Technologies as Narratives" published in 2007 by TSA proceedings.
