Cartography of the Moon

I found a really fascinating book on mapping and naming the moon, which has a huge range of different drawings and etchings of the Moon's surface. I love the idea od doing a similar thing for my contact lenses - there is something so absurd about the idea of mapping a contact lens, but I think it would make some very cool drawings and hint at how the contact is something that allowed me to experience and negotiate the world myself. The other main point that really excites me is that mapping is all about learning and discovering, as is drawing as you are using the eyes: throughout this project I have thought of sight meaning the ability to know, and how vision enables one to learn, so mapping the contact lens would be really fitting.

I edited some contact photos to make them a bit more like the drawings in the book. I definitly intend to make some drawings when I continue with my studio work.
