Map
When told to get a map I instantly thought about driving seeing as though thats what maps are primarily used for. I first cut out all the states I have lived in Texas, Colorado, and Georgia. I then taped the map to the wheel of my car thinking it would give it a nice “distressed” look, instead my map looked like it was mauled by bears. So then I thought it would be wise to burn the map a little, once again I failed and ended up with a bag of ashes. So I got to thinking and I ended up using my ash to tone a piece of water color paper. I then used the states I had cut out before as a sort of stencil or resist if you will and wiped away at the ash with a shammy. This was what i ended up with and I’m very pleased with the overall execution and aesthetic of the piece.
