silk ribbons, antique maps, antique wooden shoe forms
11 x 9 x 3″
Refugees – maps from geography books published in 1868 are cut and recombined. Combining the maps with antique wooden shoe forms and hand dyed silk ribbons, suggests a journey charted, imagined, or remembered. A unique perspective of mapping the world is depicted utilizing the antique materials in sharp contrast to our present day issues and conflicts, affecting untold populations around the world.
The carefully charted topographies, geographies, boundaries and coordinates are ultimately transformed and inviting new explorations. Layering the paper intuitively, responding to the antique cartographic renderings, allows for new territories to form.
Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.
