Whorled Maps

[Image: "Sights" by Shannon Rankin].

I wrote about the map-based work of artist Shannon Rankin a few years back, featuring elaborately cut, pinned, sliced, and remade bits of global cartography.

Rankin is currently participating in a group show at the New Art Center up in Newton, Massachusetts, if you happen to be nearby, but I basically just thought I'd use that as an excuse to post this great print, "created from digitally altered ocean and star maps." It's not actually in the current show—I just think it looks cool. Consider supporting the artist by buying a print.
