I started out with five ideas for my capstone project, two of which mad the initial cut. After exploring the possibilities of each concept over the past few weeks, I have decided to pursue the maps of rivers idea. The world river maps concept is based on my love of rivers and maps. I find maps and rivers to be of great interest for numerous reasons which I won't delve into as it would make this post way too long. The goal of this project will be to depict rivers as a unifying feature of our complex world. My project will focus on the unique culture(s) of 3 to 5 of the world's rivers.
Rather than using monoprint and block printing techniques as initially planned, I will combine collage techniques with painting to create the maps and additional imagery that will convey the culture and the unique life of each river. I am currently researching various rivers and plan to begin experimenting with layering different papers and materials on MDF boards. I will use MDF board because it is smooth and doesn't warp like plywood.
I also have a pinterest board on which I've been slowly collecting images. Here's the link if you'd like to check it out.
