Birthday Week Begins! Waterworld time with SuddenlyMatt - #Sunkenland #Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/anjelusx

Anyone playing #sunkenland ???

This is a Joan Miro ('Cabeca', I think), currently on show at Serralves, Porto.

It returns me to the subject of M John Harrison, maps, self, and 'The Sunken Land Begins To Rise Again'.

A fragment of map - rising or falling? The rest of it subsumed under a tar-like coating, an almost desperate blotting out.

This, opposite one of his 'burnt' canvases, was a real thrill.

This is one of a series of maps created by using one map as a paper negative to print onto another map. Related, in some osmotic way, to 'The Sunken Land Begins To Rise Again' by @mjohnharrison

Maps hold hidden stories, in the names, in the places between the names, in the altered landscape they fail to show. Those stories are always there, somewhere beneath the surface.

In this new city I have no map. Yet.
