SARAH CULLEN

!

Sarah Cullen proposes to create, document, and publish alternative methods of charting geography. Ms. Cullen has developed a pencil pendulum drawing/mapping device that captures her movement in graphite on a piece of paper. The maps are readings of physical movement through a space. She would like to film the drawings/mapping process during their rendering by fashioning a camera onto the device filming the pencil’s movement. She intends to explore areas of Banff with the charting device to create unconventional guide books or pamphlets for general public visiting Banff.
