San Francisco- The Octopus Story :)

30” x 20” x 1” Giant Octopus- hand drawn in white ink over the lines in a 1907 Birds Eye Map and backed with a photograph I took in Tiburon. The map in this piece brings the story to life, the shape the buildings lending itself to the gorgeous detail in this adventurous spirit. I love using old maps to showcase history and how we’ve changed / evolved and devolved in some cases, this map features Golden Gate Park but no Golden Gate Bridge.
