Nikki Rosato is a DC based painter and sculptor. Her best known work is her intricate paper cutting, like the above piece, which is a road map with the area in between the roads cut out. This picture does not really do the work justice, because you cannot see the negative space due to the white background. She combines maps with the human figure because she sees many parallels between the two. I think that Rosato's work is applicable to my ow work because she is using paper cutting to create intricate figures, and I have also been experimenting with paper cutting. I sort of moved away from that method because I wanted to do more painting, however seeing Rosato's work makes me want to try paper cutting again using a different method. I think it could be cool to do some very intricate, thin designs and overlay them on a painting. I also like Rosato's use of maps because they create an interesting design and texture, and because they can be interpreted a lot of different ways in a piece's content. It is also a coincidence because my home project incorporates a collage of maps.
