Contextual Reference: Karen M O'leary.


These paper cut maps by Karen M O'Leary really caught my eye when I came across them. I love the graphic look of them, and the use of black with white drawn-like cut out marks, in opposition too the tradition drawn black line on a white background. I would like too explore my idea of filling negative space and drawing with it much further through this project, and this work by O'Leary has informed these ideas. In terms of drawing, I am going too experiment in producing different marks drawn from the maps I have been using, and experiment with inverting and creating, filling or transforming the negative space in these drawings.
