Mapping Bali is the creation of artist Bruce Granquist to record his visual relationship to the island which has been his home for over 30 years. Originally conceived as a straightforward mapping project which produced a detailed large-format topographic of the island, the scope of the project soon dived deep into the essence of the Balinese island soul. This homage to Balinese people and culture encompasses the unique characteristics that makes the island so special; topography, architecture, heritage sites, unusual landscapes, cultural traditions and spirits. Through shared stories with the people he meets in villages throughout the island, this original and intriguing book describes through images and words a personal and deeply felt celebration of the Balinese people.
