Seeing The Future
2023
Hand-cut paper sculpture from pages of a vintage Times  Survey Atlas of the world
100 cm h x 100 cm w / 39″ h x 39″ w

“Seeing The Future” was created for a cruise ship. The artwork features a flock of birds navigating through a network of sweeping, winding lines that evoke the contour lines on a map. The vintage atlas pages provide an earthy palette of  browns and greens that texture both the birds and the paths they follow. The title and the composition, suggests a journey forward, charting a new course through the repurposed cartography of the past.
