This Friday's Feature artist is Jason LaFerrera – a mathematics student at Columbia University!
From his artist statement:
The textures and contours of old maps are fascinating, even the tattered and stained parts.
In this series, I digitally manipulate cartographic materials to create fauna, mostly birds,
in poses reminiscent of field guides from a similarly early era of publication.
The patterns of forests and shores often become an animal's feathers or fur,
while the rings of topography often trace out wings or antlers.
