Motorcycle Maps is an exhibition of drawings that depict trails and roadways well traveled by the artist. They are sensitive and simple line drawings that incorporate elaborate keys and color coding to illustrate important "forks in the road," textural landscape, and warnings, qualities to enjoy, and other personal data relating directly to the experience of motorcycle riding in North Florida and other locations. The Motorcycle Maps are autobiographical and explore an important part of Roche’s life; one that is full of both joy and pain. From winning major races to a serious motorcycle accident, Roche has participated in this popular sport with the same gusto as with his art. In the drawings, the two components come together.
