If a map is a diagrammatic representation of an area of land or sea, can it also tell a story? And can that story have layers, historic and built on, that collaboratively bring us somewhere new?

The maps in this series are pulled from a vintage atlas. 

What is cold wax?: Cold wax is a buttery soft paste made of beeswax and a small amount of solvent and resin that can be mixed with oil paint on the palette. Cold wax adds body, transparency and depth to the paint, making it possible to layer, scratch through to previous layers, and collage in materials.

Work comes ready to hang with picture wire.
