Mapping

Beginning in January 2012, Tuesday Club members and friends, along with Margaret McQuilkin and Shauna Cecil, worked with artist, Ann Henderson, around the idea of mapping.

Follow the process in the journal below as the project evolved.

Day 1

"Dusting off" the last project in preparation for the new.

Proving our knowledge of our island coastline.

Hands over Rathlin.

Day 2

ONE PERSON - ONE PLACE - ONE WORD

Margaret - Coolnagrock Mountain - Watching

Marina - Arkill - Fishing

Sadie - Mill Bay - Boats

Evelyn - Ushet - Romantic Walks

Kay - The Wet Cove - First

Peggy – Knockan’s Sweat House - Playing with the Children

Judy - Garvagh - Home

Shauna - Rathlin School - Children

Bess - Mount Grand - The Wee House

Anne - Castle Quarter - Farm

Loughie - “Shillen” Hill - Corn

Duncan - Ballynagard - Rabbits

Ann - Ballynoe - Wee Ones

JJ - East Side – Fishing

We each made a list of our 10 most important places on Rathlin.

Written above is the first of these selected locations for each of us, along with the first word which came to mind in association with that place.

Day 3

Each participant pin-pointed their ten selected places.

It was interesting that the majority of the chosen locations were “close to home” - often within walking distance.

Day 4

Google Earth and Tuesday Club rambles.

Off to The Isle of Capri with Gracie Fields !

... and down the Colorado

Home ground

Day 5

Pin-pointing our ten places!

Loughie hitting the nail on the head!

Day 6

Rediscovering old places!

Day 7

It’s round here somewhere!

That’s it there!

Nailed the final one.

The last blow!
