Synchronic and diachronic mapping in many forms produced between analogue, digital and multi-media to document a personal education process. Considering testaments from Victor Hugo, Michael Taussig and Raymond Williams, literary connections are made and sections are dropped to identify what killed what during the path to a greater education. Throughout the process many renditions of sketch mappings were created in order to get a larger grasp on various connections… significant vs insignificant, dependent vs independent, important vs unimportant etc.
