Barely Maps

Peter Gorman presents a captivating assortment of 100 minimalist maps that challenge conventional cartography. Each map within this collection invites readers to explore locations through a unique lens, stripping away the superfluous details typically found in traditional maps. The simplicity of these designs encourages a deeper appreciation for the relationships between places, concepts, and human experiences.

Gorman's work goes beyond geographical representation; it serves as a form of artistic expression. Each map tells a story, capturing the essence of a location while leaving much to the imagination. This minimalistic approach allows for personal interpretation, as viewers are prompted to reflect on their own experiences and connections to the depicted areas.

As one navigates through the pages of Barely Maps, they embark on a journey that is as much about the places themselves as it is about the ideas and emotions that those places evoke. It’s a thought-provoking piece that appeals to both map enthusiasts and casual readers alike, fostering a sense of curiosity about the world.
