A compsition of collaged paper, traced and clustered sections of maps, text, paint, crayon and pencil. The image resembles cities seen from the air or a diagram of organic growth.
I see a weathered wall with wonderful textures and cracks in the plaster … maybe an allegory of life, and the glimpses we get ‘through the cracks’ when we try to understand it? I love this, especially the use of maps as part of the collage! =D
Very nice work! I like the incorporation of maps that you have hit on in some of your work. After reading “The Map as Art” (http://tinyurl.com/9n6d9zb) I now see maps in a lot of places, imaginary maps. 🙂
Love it – quite delicate, but a rich surface.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoy it. I like contrasting dense and sparse areas.

That’s a very imaginative and thoughtful reading, thanks very much. I love weathered walls and surfaces that demonstrate the passage of time : )
I really like what you are doing here. You are inspiring me to look for and shoot more abstract images. Thanks.
Thanks for stopping by, I’m really glad you like what I do.
I like this very much. The marks, textures and palette – very sensitive
Thankyou very much Jean.
Thanks for visiting Crescent Moon Studio, John.
Best of luck in your artisitic endeavors as well as the musical.
Take care,

Thanks Paz, that’s very nice of you.
As we say in Belfast ‘all the best.’
