This Friday’s featured artist is Emily Garfield and her lovely imaginary cartography!
She writes:
I invent each place as I draw, thinking about clustering of neighborhoods, patterns of roads and the individual selective memory that an inhabitant would use to navigate their city. The physical materials also influence each work; the topography of watercolor paper, the force of gravity on ink, or the tensile limitations of paper all structure my drawings in the same way that a landscape influences urban growth.
Of course, I'm drawn to her maps that contain teal, which I love!
