Friday Favorite: Elizabeth Duffy

11/29/2013

This Friday’s featured artist is Elizabeth Duffy and her Map Projects: a series of objects, installations and drawings made from maps of places where she has lived and traveled.
I love the breadth of her map art.

Her Land-less works are ongoing and consist of maps she cuts, then folds, mounts, and overlaps walls.

Duffy's installation 278,000 Miles is amazing! 
The entire installation is based on one drawing she made from maps of places she's lived.
This drawing is repeated on wallpaper, fabric, chair, lampshade, table and rug! Brilliant!
