While the maps in Atlas are
heavily annotated, Quest takes the
opposite tack. Here, Mills starts with colonial maps (and Mills makes the point
that most maps, in some way, contain evidence of colonization and conquest).
These are reworked in ways that transform text – including place names, keys
and ancillary information - into abstract forms and colors according to rules
and systems that he chooses not to divulge. The eye-catching results are
reminders of the artifice of all mapping systems.
