Maps and Art: Ed Fairburn, Maps as Decor (opens in new tab)

Geoawesome’s Aleks Buczkowski looks at the art of Ed Fairburn, who combines portraiture with maps—basically, maps with a human face. “Fairburn’s work sits at the intersection of cartography and portraiture. It reminds us that maps are not just representations of space. They can also tell stories about people, identity, and place.” I covered Fairburn and his work back in February 2016.
