About the Map of Cheekyness
While the first four pieces in the Mapmakers Multiverse art installation were topically American, by late 2017 the challenge of respectfully caricaturing a cultural reflection from outside American borders came about.
While almost immediately energetically balanced with the four preceding pieces, thousands of calibrations and hundreds of panel changes still had to be conducted to organize the narrative flow in a way that respected cultural sensitivities.
The rich history of recognition for a strong work ethic and the concordant tough love traditionally given to those who “ride the dole” was repeatedly altered to eventually reflect the compassionate social attitudinal adjustment that prevailed during the 2020 employment collapse during covid lockdowns.
Additional consciousness research was conducted in order to take great care in extrapolating a representation of the reality of the social order, while respecting the legacy of British counterculture, which has been critically influential in the arts, and responsible for leading the nation into great social change for three generations.
