Mapism is Cubism for the 21st Century!

juliafeatherstone — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 11:32:34 +0000

Cubism, the artistic expression that forefathered all abstract art, was simply a method of portraying multiple dimensions onto a two dimensional canvas. This is not unlike the task of the map maker in representing the earth in two dimensions.

MAPISM is the new Cubism! Where contours of memories, dreams and fragments of history are traced and dugout onto maps of landscapes in the 21st century.

Cargo Boat in Venice Canal

juliafeatherstone — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 06:36:37 +0000

Video still from my Ground Series in Europe. My aim was to show another perspective of Venice. How they deliver cargo to the city in the narrow canals and the way the reflections of the palaces and boats are distorted by waves and ripples. The camera was hand-held on the railing of the bridge, Ponte De Le Pignate.

Video still from my Ground Series in Europe: a low view across the snow covered gondolas with the teeth of the bow cutting through the scene like a knife, or waiting to pounce on unsuspecting passers-by. My aim is to explore perspectives that defy linear perspective lines of a single viewpoint
