I am honored and beyond excited to share this commissioned map I recently completed for
@erdenusa. Their fourth collection is inspired by their Illinois farm and explores the communion between man and earth and the careful balance of the organic and the orchestrated. Drawing inspiration from early 18th century engravings of English estates, I drafted the map by hand using over 60 drone images and a site survey as references. This is my most detailed linocut to date, I truly relish complex projects like this!
Thank you to Brian Erden for trusting me with bringing your beautiful farm to life, and to
@j.quan.t and Rebekka Rashell for seeking out my work and meeting with me in person while the project was in development. I am so grateful for the opportunity!
