Gold map wood panel collage 2 Collage by Amelia Coward

Collage: map, Paper, gold leaf , Wood on Wood, Paper.

I have collected and selected the most vibrant pieces of map from my collection of 25,000 maps and atlases. Bonded them onto wood, pressed them and laser cut them into mathematically precise rectangles. I have included gold leaf rectangles to contrast the patterns with a hint of shine.

From these rectangles, I have made three different compositions to create three patterned grid mosaic pieces which work as a tryptic or standalone.

Please ask f you would like to see the other two pieces in the series.
