Friday Favorite: John Mann

10/21/2011

17 Comments

 
This Friday’s Feature artist is John Mann!

I love his Folded in Place project! 

From his artist statement:
The photographs in this series are informed by the varied ways that photography, mapping, drawing and sculpture have each tried to describe the landscape. By incorporating each of these methods, Folded in Place highlights the abstraction of the landscape traditionally offered by these means, while creating a tangible photographic“place” in each image that is occupied by a mapped construction. The images therefore provide precise photographic and mapped information while at the same time offering an abstraction of the landscape itself. The viewer is shown a landscape that is simultaneously understood and unknown, a landscape in which the map obtains a new geography of its own. 

All images are 24x30” digital c-prints, editioned to ten.

TGIF!
