I found myself in a bit of a smell-mapping wormhole after listening to Act Three<\/strong><\/a> of episode 110: Mapping <\/strong><\/a>of This American Life (I live in Hastings-Sunrise, so am subject to the putrid smell of the West Coast Reduction on north-west windy days.) In doing so I stumbled upon the work of Kate McLean, “an artist and designer, creator of smellmaps of cities around the world.”<\/a>\u00a0McLean’s full portfolio of work is available HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n
