Mapme. Alison Jones, 2007

Self-portrait, map and digital manipulation.


Alison made the connection between street maps and the human cardio-vascular system. Using Photoshop, a scanned map was re-sized to fit on her back; It was then warped to replicate the shape of the body and feathered so the edges would integrate better with the flesh. Finally the opacity was reduced so integration would be even more complete. This is one of a series of images.

this is so beautiufl, and completely a modern artwork - it is so eerily feminine
