Ewan David Eason
Eason’s Mappa Mundi prints portray a contemporary visualisation of today’s cities in juxtaposition to their medieval namesake. They depict a bird’s eye view of some of the most iconic topographical surfaces on our planet in shimmering gold. However these works are not just an artist representation but also the result of a painstaking process undertaken in order to document the landscape, whilst sympathetically following the ethos and history of cartography. High levels of accuracy and dedication are used in the construction of these prints, emphasising their status as a method of art-as-documentation. The context of these works represents a snapshot of our ever-changing landscape that could potentially be completely re-written in as little as a decade.
