I became enamored of hydrographic maps, which are cartographic maps for the sea floor. They reminded me of the maps that used to come with issues of National Geographic in the 1970s. I especially loved the small data illustrations that accompanied such maps in the margins, and created some collages in this vein, intending to release them with the album. When I started working with Constellation Tatsu on the album concept, the idea was scrapped, but I still find these collages fun and interesting.
