Relief Map

Relief Map

Objective: To create a conceptual map that explores a place or thing

Artist Statement: When exploring ideas for a relief map, I had a hard time coming up with something that I could map. I couldn't think of any places of importance to me that were worthy of a relief map. After a few days of thought, I came across an article on climate change that had a chart showing the average temperature change over the last fifty years. The colors in it sparked inspiration in me: a map that represents climate change. I chose materials that were organic in nature, as well as colors that were directly representative of climate change. Red for heat, blue for water. My goal was to create a piece that gave a sense of the two extremes of climate change while also simulating the idea that often, the population of people here on Earth put it in little boxes and shove it in the corner, ignoring it.
