"The woodland boxes are partly inspired by the museum cases made to show off nineteenth century taxidermy collections .... In these a model of a natural scene is created and staged with an example of each species ... The maps serve as a pictorial background showing the landscape laid out, often with a woodland represented by tiny tree symbols and therefore a landscape can be imagined from a map."--Artist's statement.
