A detailed street grid of Chicago from 1893 spreads across aged cream paper with fine brown lines mapping the city's neighborhoods and Lake Michigan's shoreline in soft blue. The composition balances the densely crosshatched urban streets on the left with the calm expanse of water on the right, creating a sense of the city's geographic relationship to the lake. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
