Stuart Arnett's Artistic Cartography
"This is a relatively new idea that I am pursuing. Basically, I use the map as my canvas or, more accurately, my paper. This could be a nautical chart or a topographical map. I've used maps issued by the National Geographic Society, as can been seen in my Sir Ernest Shackleton series. We have access to a phenomenal array of maps, which gives this concept endless possibilities.
If you have a favourite summer retreat, cottage, canoe or boating trip, just about anything can be incorporated into a beautiful, truly original piece of art or, if you belong to a nature conservation group, this type of artwork would be ideal to demonstrate the importance of your work. Artistic Cartography has a unique way of bringing the subject matter, albeit an endangered species or a threatened habitat, home to its natural location on earth."
