Strands
Text
Strands is a series of paintings that examine maps as an example of systems that are often seen as factual and exact but are deeply embedded with bias connected to historic power structures. The works expose these historic biases and invites the viewer to consider the biases built into the digital systems in which we interact on a daily basis. Strands are hand painted with acrylic on linen, and utilize custom software designed for the manipulation of images using historical mapping projections that date from AD 150 to 2018.
