Shadow Window

A series of 17 works that use the traditional craft of paper marbling to achieve cartographic effects. The map-like surfaces are each paired with a pattern derived from the 17 distinct plane symmetry groups – also called wallpaper groups. A wallpaper group is a mathematical classification of a two-dimensional repetitive pattern, based on the unique symmetries that structure the pattern. This particular way of filling a plane with a repeated image, often used in decorative motifs, is used here to draw a connection with how we look at and absorb landscapes.
