Kathy Prendergast

Another artist who uses maps in their work, is Kathy Prendergast.

These maps below, on first glance without knowing any background details about them are similar to my work.

After a little more background research, I found Prendergast's 'Lost Maps' work (below), which looks like an ordinary map of the United States, however on closer inspection, it reveals that all the names of places have been removed from the map except for those that begin and end with the word lost (e.g., Lost Creek, Lost Island, and Lost Canyon):

Although I am happy with the work I am doing with my maps, and am including concepts behind them, work such as Prendergast's makes me want to work with maps again and try out more ideas.
