Tongue Rug : Tapis à langues is a project that is structured around the traditional tongue rug found in Québec and in Sweden. Similar to a patchwork rug, it is composed of overlapping felt tongues.

The projet is a virtual sladdakavring that acts both as archive and “writing machine”. Its final shape is unpredictable. It will grow piecemeal as a fluid structure, mutable, subject to randomness, time and the public's participation.
 
I am in the process of working on the Tongue rug (blog) and the path map which documents my cycling trips to each waypoint — lake, river, stream, body of water — with genealogical/geographical placenames. 

I can imagine an archive documenting my state of 'being lost'. Will the newest mapping technologies necessarily make my path more certain?

Already the few paths I have drawn reflect the 're-routes', the 'circling-back' and the 'dead-end'. Loosened from the map, they become drawings, embroidery, threads scattered by time.
