Matthew Day Jackson

Road maps, city maps, country maps ... my mind starts to travel whenever I see one.  I love looking at maps, could do it for hours ... 

This fact combined with wood; no wonder I was lovestruck when I saw this.

Only part of a larger work at Art Brussels.

This is stunning, intriguing, fascinating ... I was hooked even before I saw the title of this work.  Knowing what it was about made it even more breathtaking. (for the record, this is not me in the picture)
