100% From Memory

May 2006

“100% From Memory” is a collaborative pair of drawings I did with Canadian artist, Amanda Schoppel. We tore one piece of paper into two pieces. I took the top half, Amanda took the bottom half. I, as a “lifelong Californian,” attempted to draw a map of Canada from memory. Amanda, a “proud Canadian,” drew a map of the United States from memory. We were not allowed to look at any maps or consult any resources for details. The two maps were then rejoined.
