一间公寓的古地图

An antique engraved map in the style of an eighteenth-century atlas, hand-coloured with soft watercolour washes on aged paper, portrait format, but the country it shows is one small apartment seen from above. Regions are labelled in elegant italic engraved lettering: "The Sofa Highlands", "Fridge Glacier", "Laundry Mountains", "Lost Sock Bay", "The Hallway Strait", "Desk of Unfinished Things", "Bathroom Isles". A dotted trade route runs from the bed to the kettle. A decorative cartouche at the top reads "A MAP OF THE KNOWN FLAT", a compass rose sits in one corner, and a small sea monster curls in the bathtub. Palette of faded ochre, sage, dusty rose and sepia ink.
