Rearranged World: Alaska is a mixed media installation created expressly for my fall 2010 show in Oceanside, California and consists of note-sized pieces of topographical maps of Alaska, an area of the world rich in intricate patterns carved into the landscape by nature. On each square I printed vintage drawings of strong men and wrestlers, representing humans struggle for dominance amongst each other as they conquer a new frontier.
The composition was inspired by the Rearranged World type tray works in the show, which also used grids and nested rectangles to create minimalist forms.
