Rosalind Ferrier
Argues with maps, museums, and the idea of neutral ground.
Rosalind Ferrier has written seven books of essays on the things institutions treat as settled: indexes, wall labels, borders, the standard metre.
She spent four years as a picture researcher, which she credits for her suspicion of captions. She writes a monthly column for the ScriptLyra Journal.
