Range of Circumstances

 

Range of Circumstances, a monoprint by Thomas Strich

Tom has created many monoprint maps over the years. He starts by manipulating inks on a plate to create a monoprinted background of textures. He then adds drawn,  painted, and applied elements to transform the abstract surface into a labelled map. Each map is unique. The maps make a metaphorical connection between elements of landscape and elements of the human psyche. The exact meaning of each map is open to interpretation by the viewer. This map is from 1998.
