This Friday’s featured artist is Rachel Sager and her amazing map mosaic series entitled Terra Incognita!
The texture and details are amazing! I love her color palette, too!

“Terra Incognita” (2011)
She writes:
Maps are beautiful blueprints for helping the human eye to search. Our searches may change, but the act of and the need to explore is constant. Terra Incognita, unknown land, is a term found in many ancient maps. It was used to mark unexplored territories, often in colorful, imaginative styles. Having spent the last several years in self-imposed map history research, I have internalized many of the themes surrounding the rich artistic culture of cartography. Its subjects are as wide and vast as the oceans it has worked so hard to chart. By focusing on one unifying concept, Terra Incognita, I have built a body of work that has given me a clear focus but also the liberty to explore the boundaries of my medium.
