Publicly accessible through the Internet, www.davidmcfarlane.com is a searchable data-base of every person I have met in my lifetime so far. It is a self-portrait constructed by re-collecting, or calling to mind those that I have come into contact with. This new project builds on my continued practice of map-ping and collecting as a strategy to examine issues of identity, territory and boundary.
