Cartography of the Unknown introduces us to Andrew Blythe, a self-taught artist who lives and works in Grey Lynn. A turbulent youth saw Blythe in and out of hospital and living rough on the Auckland streets where he would create dense artworks, which are paradoxically controlled yet chaotic. Now his life is more settled but his art remains dynamic and alive.
