TOPOGRAPHICAL CODES ON PAPER YERRRU SERIES PHILIPPE HALABURDA STUDIO 2020

About the theme of "topography"
In creating abstract topographical maps using transparent tapes, I first lay down the acrylic background to establish the foundation of the composition.
This serves as the canvas upon which the topographical codes will be represented. The acrylic background provides a textured and dynamic backdrop,
evoking the varied terrain of a landscape.
Next, I utilize color tapes to represent the different elements of the topographical map. Each color tape corresponds to a specific feature, such as elevation,
terrain type, or recommended route.
By layering and arranging the recordings on the acrylic background,
I create a visual language that communicates the intricacies of the landscape.
Tapes allow for flexibility and experimentation, enabling me to explore different combinations and arrangements to evoke the desired effect.
As I construct the abstract shapes with collages and tapes, I pay attention
to the spatial relationships between the elements.
The arrangement of the recordings creates a sense of depth and perspective, mimicking the contours and gradients found in traditional topographical maps.
Through careful composition and layering, I strive to capture the essence
of the landscape while leaving room for interpretation and exploration
by the viewer.
