what is a line-initial research

the brief is simple.... exploring lines, i have decided to focus my search on mapping, and specifically contour lines and grids.

as initial research iam trying to investigate a broad range of topics with in the heading mapping. i like the idea of surgical mapping. the idea of mapping the body for alteration interests me a lot. and something that i will continue to develop. I also enjoy the thought of using grids on the human body.
