I have found myself very interested in maps lately, for both their formal and functional qualities. The illusions created from maps by artist Matthew Cusick are an exciting and intricate statement about the conventions of maps and painting. I think of his process lying between the realms of collage and treating the shapes created by maps as a coloring book.
The re purposing of these maps not only creates an intricate texture but also gives a new significance to the information found on the original maps. Cusick's unique approach to mixed media is both breathtaking and inspiring. The end result of his technique leaves the viewer with mysteries to explore within his work, after the comprehensive message is communicated.
