Uncharted series and more map works by Selflesh / Shannon Rankin

March 27, 2011 by Fosco Lucarelli 2 Comments

Shannon Rankin works on maps:

“I create installations, collages and drawings that use the language of maps to explore the connections among geological and biological processes, patterns in nature, geometry and anatomy. Using a variety of distinct styles I intricately cut, score, wrinkle, layer, fold, paint and pin maps to produce revised versions that often become more like the terrains they represent. These new geographies explore notions of place, perception and experience, suggesting the potential for a broader landscape and inviting viewers to examine their relationships with each other and the world we share.”

Don’t miss her beautiful Flickr stream, Etsy page and blog.
