Vanessa Berry’s map of Parramatta Road elevates everyday sites like car dealerships and teddy bear stores, reflecting the city’s details through her repeated, attentive exploration.

In the text for the catalogue of the exhibition Navigation 4: Footsteps in the Corridor, the curator Nadia Odlum wrote:

“In the map of Parramatta Road: Landmarks and Monuments created by Vanessa Berry, quintessential features such as car dealerships and teddy bear stores are elevated to the status of hallowed landmarks. The author of the book Mirror Sydney and the blog of the same name, Berry explores and reflects on the city with the eyes of someone who has traversed it many times, observing with intent the fine details of its fabric and features.”
