This globe, one of four that makes up the ‘Other Worlds’ work by Auckland artist Ruth Watson is a view of Mars, based on the early 20th-century view of Mars crossed with canals.

Was there a reason she chose canals?!!

Not sure about the canals (the artist says she doesn’t want to over explain her work so that people can draw their own interpretation) but the other components of the work are globes with interesting takes on earth – such as based on an old map showing earth with no water, or CO2 hotspots
