The body of work draws inspiration from old and new forms of mapmaking, such as traditional topographic maps and contemporary chromo-stereoscopic maps, as well as old and new art forms. The works explore the ways in which landscape and colour-field artworks could be reinterpreted effectively through the use of stereoscopic painting, video, projection and printing methods in an attempt to enhance illusions of depth and flatness on 2D and 3D surfaces. This is done through the study of various fields of knowledge, primarily geology, stereography, cartography, landscape and colour theory. The project focuses on bringing these areas together in order to create a series of colour-field artworks which reinterpret two specific landscape topographies (Xaqqa Valley & Mount Fuji) that are located at different types of tectonic plate boundaries (diverging & converging).
