My piece for the upcoming “MYLARchitecture” group show at Arts Underground in Whitehorse.
From my ongoing Altered States Project, in which I’m making these abstract sculptures from an old atlas. I’m taking cues for the surface geometry from arbitrary divisions of states and counties; absurdly mocking the structure of a topographical map.
