A mind map can be described as thinking made visible. By pulling a threaded needle through cloth, each stitch helps me organize my own thoughts, see connections and try to make sense of the world.

The Mind Maps series is about how we process and organize information. The current communication strategy of “flooding the zone” has scrambled my thinking, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and out of touch. As I was making the red set of Mind Maps, I was frantically stitching through a firehose of breaking news.
