Map Relief

Map Relief

For this project I took inspiration from natural geodes. I work at a jewelry store that sells a lot of natural stones and I feel that aspect has shown through in this work. I used ink and gel medium for some of the purple tones and pastels for the majority of the purple and black. The outer wall is made completely of paper and Gesso. I used the stacking method to make this relief.
