Friday Favorite: Emma Johnson

2/15/2013

8 Comments

 
This Friday’s featured artist is Emma Johnson (no relation to last week’s featured artist Bryce Johnson).

Emma Johnson lives in England. She is a visual artist, working mainly with installation and mixed media.
Her work deals with issues of deconstruction and transformation, the recycling of materials, and the ambiguity of communication.

Recently Emma's been working with maps, their imagery and concepts.
A series of maps and atlases have been dissected, revealing a radically altered visual and physical structure.

Each map piece is comprised of approximately 5 to 12 layers of cut maps and measures approximately 9 to 10.5 centimeters squared. See all of Emma’s dissected maps in her Etsy shop emmaporium.

This is quite intriguing. I imagine that it took a lot of work to cut all these roads out of the maps and then layer them down. Fantastic work, very impressive.
