Christopher Warren, operator, and artist for Beatnik Prints, has been creating sculptures based on the design and layout of topographic maps for nearly a decade.
Each sculpture is comprised of hundreds of laser-cut or CNC machined shapes which are then layered on top of each other in order to achieve three dimensions. Warren says he started creating about ten years back while attending college at CU Boulder when a friend informed him that a library on campus was distributing expired USGS maps for free.
Artist turns topography into masterpieces "I can use a $10,000 machine for $50 a month, plus upkeep," said Warren. "The whole concept of using maps as an art leaping point, I hope people see it and think, oh, anything can become art."
