December Map Crafts

Emily Garfield is a Boston area artist who creates "imaginary cartography." She will be showing her work in several area venues starting this weekend. Here are some of her maps - I have a few small prints of these.






Here is her Map Teapot, on display at Mobilia Gallery in Cambridge.


A short hop to the other side of the country will get you to the 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland, Oregon to see a globe exhibit called Welcome to My World - opening tonight!


Below is a work called "Underworld" by book artist and friend of the Map of the Week family, Susan Collard.


Several of the globes take on Global Warming as a theme. My favorite is this one by Bonnie Meltzer.


Finally, I'll leave you with Rebecca's Room by David Chelsea- acrylic paint on globe.
