In this drawing, Paul Davies brings together representations of his major land art works. He worked with local communities on proposals to create giant maps in the landscape constructed from earthworks and planting. This drawing includes designs for a Map of Wales in Ynys Môn (1987) and an unrealised World Map for Merthyr Tydfil (1989).
