Artists using maps


I thought I'd post a few photos of my favourite artists who use maps as part of their portfolio of work. The first I ever came across was Tracey Bush who makes wonderful artists books using maps and other papers cut into butterflies which take their names from their source i.e the Atlas Moth. I have one of Tracey's books and love her work. If you like it, take a look at some others too.

Absolutely fabulous stuff. I am sure there is something magical about maps and atlases that appeals to our basic instincts.

Wow! Thanks for the inspiration. I've got a huge old dilapidated atlas that I've had for years intending to use it for an altered book project. Maybe one day....
