Various sizes. (i.e 12cm (l) x 5cm (w) )

Joint piece – Lorna Milner Johnson (nee Barrowclough) & Hondartza Fraga Circumfluent means flowing around, surrounding. Circumfluere is the original Latin verb, literally ‘to float about’. “This work combines two ideas: Hondartza’s design of a world’s ocean map, and Lorna’s collages made out of the sea areas of old maps. The collage is composed from photos of old maps taken by the artists. The map presents a view of all the world’s seas as one unique mass of water, the land is omitted, only the coastline remains as one continuous edge to the body of water.” Size: Materials: Laser cut mdf, photo collage Currently installed at: Room for Curio•sea•ty, The Art Hostel, Leeds –arthostel.org.uk/room-for-curio•sea•ty Exhibited in: Curio•sea•ty at South Square, South Square Gallery, Thornton, Bradford, June – July 2015 Curio•sea•ty.
