Circumnavigating the Isles Painting

This piece is one of a series of explorations within a paper atlas, discarded at a book sale, in which each page is considered by its own aesthetics and story, rather than conforming to the atlas as a whole. Here, the counties and islands of Scotland have been isolated from the rest of the British Isles and, by picking them out in flat colours, their beautiful patterns and shapes become evident. The blue of the sea has been replaced with white chalk gesso, while the latitude and longitude grid of the original mapping has been replaced with graphite circles and small circular labels. This is a strange and beautiful land. Water-based enamel and emulsion paint, pencil and adhesive labels on paper page (Scotland) from National Geographic Atlas of the World Revised Sixth Edition 1992. Available framed or unframed.
