Matthew Cusick's map collages are as lively as they are striking. While the layer of literal representation in the landscape pieces could have come across as arch - a road made of roads, a wave made of oceans - the intricacy and occasional fantasy elements in his work elevates it far beyond a visual play-on-words to something truly marvelous. I am captivated!
