Map Collages by Matthew Cusick

New York-based artist Matthew Cusick creates elaborate collages depicting humans, animals, water and landforms crafted entirely from recycled maps. Cusick meticulously slices segments of antiquated maps from old encyclopedias, textbooks, roadmaps, and atlases and lays them down into familiar forms, taking advantage of the colorful shades map makers chose to represent the earth’s surface from oceans to rainforests to deserts.   Source:amusingplanet  and designboom

Aydın Büyüktaş Turns His Photos of Istanbul Into Inception-like Dreamscapes                                                                              

Facebook | Instagram

Inspired by Edwin Abbat’s “Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions”, artist and photographer Aydın Büyüktaş has created a jarring series of photos in a project entitled, Flatland, in which he “sets the foundations of a dimension where a space of surprises creates a space that creates surprises.”

The artist uses photos of Istanbul he has taken, warping them into Inception-like dreamscapes that bend reality. On his website he adds:

“We live in places that most of the times don’t draw our attention, places that transform our memories, places that the artist gives another dimension; where the perceptions that generally crosses our minds will be demolished and new ones will arise. These works aim to leave the viewer alone with a surprising visuality, ironic as well [a] multidimensional romantic point of view”

 Beautiful Flowers Engulfed in Flames by 蒋志|Jiangzhi

“Beautiful things and objects themselves will ultimately disappear, but the beauty itself will live on, as well as love. Perhaps this is what I am trying to express. This series of works is actually just that, a series of ”Love Letters“. Beauty, pain, transience and eternity, blossoming and wilting, passion and grace, dedication, giving and sacrifice … These are all about love.” — 蒋志|Jiangzhi

Botanical Artist Uses Foraged Materials to Create Organic Works of Art  

Seattle artist Bridget Beth Collins forages for her own art supplies and then uses these materials to create Mother Nature-inspired works of art. “I love to adventure into the wildflower woodlands, mossy waterfalls, and grey sand starry expanses of the Pacific Northwest,” Collins explains. “I forage almost all of my creations from foliage and flowers plucked from our sidewalks, meadows, and woods in our neighborhood. I have a small garden in the city, and my mother has a big rambling secret garden filled with old English roses in the sea town of Edmonds where I grew up.”
