Artist Statement
"Capital" is a nonlinear poetry text that centers on Wellington, New Zealand. The individual street names serve as titles for the separate poems that comprise "Capital," hopefully revealing the subtle differences between the neighborhoods. My overall goal was to experiement with the minute details of a landscape, the type of details that general informational maps leave out. I wanted a map that would help personify the city to a visitor just arriving in Wellington.
