ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Encapsulating Venetian Archives Palimpsestuous Map One, is a mapping analysis exercise overviewing Venice, Italy at the site of two abandoned gasometers. Beginning with an analysis of the site and drawing literal context, layers examining traffic flow and site changes over the course of a past 50 year period began to accumulate. Additionally, these intersections were highlighted through coloring emphasizing the unseen space. The results are then drawn over again, finding spatial relationships between physical context and invisible. All layers of inspection are kept and archived in this document. Reproduction printMedium of original: pencil, ink, & digital coloring on watercolor and trace paper.
