This is a drawing by Kathy Prendergast, her work in the 1980s was concerned with issues around territory, using mapping as a metaphor for control. In the Body Maps series she painted cross sections of the female body as if it were terrain to be tamed. In her sky drawings series, she leaves out all defining features except for roads and rivers, so that each city becomes a diagram of its historical construction. The map no longer offers itself as a narrative or interpretive tool but instead is transformed by drawing into a zone of imagination.

Kathe Prendergast's drawing 'Lakes' reminded me of photographs I'd taken of my acetates on the window facing the garden after I had played around with photoshop
