The map is not the territory II by Robyn Penn
Limited edition print of 6
Thoughts from the artist: The Map is not the Territory is at once a cloud, a map, a landscape, the ocean and simply a series of marks on a page. The work references my politicized fascination with clouds as symbols for global warming and grapples with philosophical ideas about subjective experience. The title of the work references scholar Alfred Korzybski statement that “a map is not the territory it represents, but if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness.”
Robyn Penn is a South African born award winning artist based in Auckland. Through a practice that straddles painting, print-making and drawing, Penn explore the relationship between nature and human-kind; experience and knowledge. She is a traditionally trained artist, and the acts of drawing and painting are a way for her to watch and record time passing, to see into the heart of things.
