_context
work-in-progress, some quick notes:
flying so often gives me a new perspective on space and scale;
when even moving on the ground, i often see in my mind where i am on the map
mapping and drawing maps is an obsession I have had since a child
_grid
The paintings have a place on a grid, where their names come from (hence their coordinates). When put together, the canvases make a big map, connecting through the lines (in the sense of exquisite corpses). The grid size is from 0-20 horizontally and A-M vertically.
_process
This new obsession started with some doodling on the tablet while watching a new TV series. It was shortly after I had arrived in Cyprus and had a long and painful journey due to many train cancellations and delayed + missed flights. I spent a lot of time looking at the map during the week before (google maps for navigation, dutch transport apps for trains, and flightradar24 for my flights). Maps have always been something that triggers me to draw and I guess it was why I started my "art therapy session" with this particular aesthetic. In addition, the TV series' setup was Iceland, which also always brings my memories of it as such a remarkable place. It always inspires minimalism in the way I draw and design. Thus, starting a few doodles in black and white, I decided to experiment with making them colourful acrylic on canvas.
