Map Cut Outs :)

Matthew Picton  is a London-born artist who is fascinated by maps of city grids. Through his work, you can visit major cities throughout the world — from Shanghai to Chicago. Picton can even take you back in time to, say, Moscow in 1808 or Baghdad in 1943. In his newest series, he has constructed maps from texts referencing their place — “Venice” consists of cut-paper excerpts of Thomas Mann’s “Death in Venice,” while “Dublin” is made of James Joyce’s “Ulysses.
