She talks about how humans have an instinct or need to map the world - both to create sense and possibility. To make a cartography of the world to make it known and real whether it's corporal, physical, psychological.
'Maps intrigue us, perhaps none more than those that ignore mapping conventions. These are maps that find their essence in some other goal than just taking us from point a to point b. They are a vehicle for the imagination, fuelled up and ready to go. We look at these maps, and our minds know just what to do: take the information and extrapolate from it a place where they can leap, play, gambol - without that distant province of our being, the body, dragging them down...that particular terrain of imagination overlaid with those unique contour lines of experience.'
