Terra Spiritus

noreply@blogger.com (Moon River) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:47:00 +0000

Bea Maddock’s TERRA SPIRITUS…with a darker shade of pale is a forty-metre panoramic drawing of the coastal profile of her homeland Tasmania. The Latin title, meaning spirit of the land or land of spirit, conveys the artists desire to explore the implications of living in a specific place – in the present and with a sense of the past. On fifty-one sheets of paper, Bea Maddock has drawn the bays, inlets, mountain ranges and gullies as they would be viewed at a short distance from the coast. Unable to make the physical journey herself, Bea Maddock devised a method of generating the view from geographical and topographical maps of Tasmania. Each drawing was made as if looking into the centre of the island and there is noconcept of north or south, east or west; there is only the compulsion of lookinginwards. (Bea Maddock)

Indian "Ledger"

noreply@blogger.com (Moon River) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:53:00 +0000

The images are taken from a site that is dedicated to presenting and and preserving Plains art, drawings on paper, from the late 19th century for research and enjoyment.

One of the most beautiful albums:

Plains Indian Ledger Art.Native American art in ... accounting ledgers.'Beginning in the early 1860s, Plains Indian men adapted their representational style of painting to paper in the form of accountants ledger books. Traditional paints and bone and stick brushes used to paint on hide gave way to new implements such as colored pencils, crayon, and occasionally water color paints. Plains artists acquired paper and new drawing materials in trade, or as booty after a military engagement, or from a raid...' via plep

All Streets is One more project by the interesting Ben Fry, who's passion for cartography and organic design have produced many interesting projects.

San Francisco A detail of the West shows the relative lack of roads in mountainous areas, punctuated by the densely populated Bay Area.

Ontological Road Map

noreply@blogger.com (Moon River) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:15:00 +0000

Robert Walden Ontological Road Map 042806200610 x 10 inchesink on latex paint on panel

"Ontology is a central theme throughout my work because it deals with the nature of existence or being by analyzing concepts about essence, substance, time, location, space, and identity. My work addresses these ideas by building upon physical, temporal, and literal metaphors that are often used to convey ideas about a process as well as a product. For instance, each drawing is not only a finished work that represents a place, but it is also a reflection of the hand of the artist, the act of making lines. Each of these drawings involves a labor-intensive process where much time is needed for construction and development. Once the drawing is complete, it is a picture of time. That is, each drawing reveals the time it takes to make a road map and then each finished drawing actually represents that time. All along, there is a literal play on mapping. Each drawing represents a process (of mapmaking, of creating roads) and a place (a representation of existence that can be either real or imagined). - Statement for Ontological Road Maps series, by Robert Walden (2007) at the marcia wood gallery

Satoru Aoyama

noreply@blogger.com (Moon River) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:02:00 +0000

Only with the naked eye one could appreciate the astonishing fact that this photo-realistic work, which at first seems to be a traditional oil painting or photograph, is in fact embroidery. unlike other embroidery artists, he makes every effort to disguise his stitch-work and any evidence that his work is handmade. Once you notice this, you find yourself quickly drawn into his unique world.
