Geologic Abstractions (Paintings)
In the Geologic Abstractions series I downloaded images from the Internet of vintage hand-watercolored geologic maps from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Using the colors from the maps themselves and deleting all other information in the maps these painting-like abstractions were revealed. The titles are taken directly from the maps and offer the only hint at the actual location in the maps. These found two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional space are rectified readymades and are snapshots of geologic time.
