Sensory Maps

Published by ECU Press in the Pile Driver Editions Series.

Sensory Maps is a series of drawings by Finland-based artist Anna Ruth. The drawings record the artist’s travels and the movement of Vancouver buses over the course of a day, January 26, 2009, and were composed by allowing the vibrations of the vehicle to move a hand-held pen across a sheet of paper.

Anna Ruth grew up in Vancouver and is now living and working in Jyväskylä, Finland. She studied at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in the mid-1990s and graduated from l’École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Cornouaille in France in 1998. She exhibits her artwork internationally.

Sensory Maps is the first book in Pile Driver Editions, a new imprint of the ECU Press. Pile Driver focuses on books by artists and writers associated with the University.
