Watercolor & silver leaf on watercolor paper

I want to get lost in Venice. Mapping this glorious waterbound city, I was swept under the grace of its flowing walkways and canals. The entire layout speaks of a well-worn intimacy, where to navigate its inner passages might be an ability inherited in infancy.

This map is of the Grand Canal where it winds between the neighborhoods of Sestieri Dorsoduro, Sestieri San Marco, and Sestieri San Polo. Were you to continue just beyond the bottom edge of the map, you’d soon skim under the Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge).
