Portugal Walk map #48
"I traveled each and every highway...with my own 2 feet, I did it my way." This has a special thing to it. At this part of the trail I walked for a bit on the national 2 road which is a famous highway in Portugal for taking road trips like the route 66 of Portugal. Every restaurant and hotel along the route has a stamp and when people drive this route they collect these stamps from the restaurants and hotels they stay at. I stayed at a hotel in the road and got a stamp from it and had it out on this map piece and you can see it on the top right of the piece (close up on pic 2.)
This is map piece #48 from my current walk, a 350 mile walk across Portugal. The piece is my art done on a map page used for the walk. The map goes with me on the walk and guides me and contains the walk in the dirt, rain , sweat or whatever accumulates on it from the road. I find it special for that reason. The sentence I come up with or find on the walk and graffiti it on the walk. The piece is made on the road, on the walk. My aim with my art is to give a piece of the walk through my art and I do believe that is accomplished because of the aspects of the art previously mentioned. Another part of the art is that the selling of the art is what enables me to further walk. In my mind that is part of the art, the way everything goes together. The walking feeds the thinking which creates the sentences and I do my art on the road doing what I love and the art helps me to keep going and doing what I love.
The thick red line on the Piece is the path I walked.
The map is printed on high quality 250g paper. And the art is done with alcohol based and acrylic markers.
Comes with 3 Screen printed Eggshell stickers.
