Stephanie Kantor: Mapping

In Stephanie Kantor’s latest work she explores a sense of place with an emphasis on mapping. Interested in an investigation of sites and structures that may often go unnoticed on many of our daily routes throughout the city and surrounding suburbs, Kantor depicts our community grids across the three dimensional structures of her vessel forms. Drawing many of her images from Google Maps, each of Kantor’s forms offer of a bird’s eye view of places that may seem at once familiar yet rediscovered as the artist places these locales into an entirely different context.
