Deep Map: Gnowangerup scratching memories

A deep map of my birthplace Gnowangerup

Scratching memories like malleefowl making nests

Deep mapping is an interdisciplinary and creative method for exploring place in rich, layered ways. It attends closely to the echoes and textures of a site—its histories, stories, and sensory details—revealing the palimpsest of relations that shape our being with place. Drawing on multiple disciplinary perspectives, deep mapping moves beyond surface representations to engage with the entanglements of self, environment, and time. This process often incorporates visual, sonic, and narrative forms, allowing for an imaginative engagement with both physical landscapes and the in-between spaces where meaning is co-created.
