robert walden’s ontological road maps suggest aerial views or maps of elaborate urban zones complete with housing developments, industrial areas, and business districts. however the accustomed crisp printing of ordinary maps gives way to the insistent presence of the hand of the artist, as one imagines him making each of the fine delicate lines that constitute his webs of transit networks.
