Arapaho Rainbow I is composed from 150 individually hand-selected vintage map fragments arranged in a soft ombré spectrum. Drawn from antique atlases and world map sheets, some dating back over one hundred years, the work brings together distant territories, coastlines and forgotten routes within a precise geometric structure. Each original map is carefully bonded onto birch wood before being laser cut into 3 cm circular forms. The dots are then arranged by colour into a gradual shifting composition that moves delicately across the surface, echoing both cartographic order and atmospheric light. Mounted on textured watercolour paper, the work balances structure and softness, combining the aged patina of historical printed maps with a clean contemporary aesthetic. 50 x 70 cmFramed in a white box frameReady to hang Protected with museum-quality UV perspex glazing to help prevent fading and allow for safe worldwide shipping.
