"Get Lost"
A Series of Original Abstract Maps
Map Your Dreams And Go​
​
Our “homing beacon” is often strongest when we are lost. This abstract map collection explores allowing your mind to get lost - asking questions about your life and all the things you wish for the most.
Once you realize what's pulling you, you can map out your path and go. :)
​
These maps are a guide to your own adventure, freedom and self-empowerment.
​
Pieces from this series are all hand-dyed and can be found in collections from the tropical island of Maui to NYC.
The Process
Abstract Cartography
These maps are fictional. They tell a story. Mel calls this abstract cartography.
Hand-Dyed
The 100% cotton, archival quality canvas is hand-dyed using Mel's custom River Painting Dye Method.
​
Multiple Layers
The dyeing process takes multiple layers, heat, different color mixtures and ink to attain the final result.
​
Inked Shorelines
The shorelines and islands must be carefully drawn on by hand to create the final map.
