Friday Favorite: Sabine Réthoré

2/10/2012

This Friday’s Feature artist is Sabine Réthoré!
I especially enjoy her Lovely Place series of work and the way she compared drawing maps to calligraphy! (Have I mentioned that I teach calligraphy, too?)

From her artist statement:
I love drawing lines on maps, in the same way that a calligrapher loves drawing letters: the quality of the line must reflect the meaning of the text and where maps are concerned, reflect a significant representation of the world.
My cartography is precise. It’s just my point of view that's different.

TGIF!

I'm never going to look at maps the same way again!
