Contemporary Artist Joy LI Creates Stunning Wool Rug
JOY LI, "A Spotted Bunny, Tangerine Peel, or Map of the World", 2021, Wool Rug, 8.2' x 5.7'
Description
"Games are miniature worlds built in parallel to the real world. Meanwhile, world maps are dissected by latitude and longitude lines, which flattened the three-dimensional space and formed a two-dimensional miniature earth. Turning the earth into a flattened map will necessarily involve some kind of distortion. How we project the surface of the earth determines the shape of the continents and oceans we see. There already exist many ways of projection, to demonstrate the appearance and connections of the world as accurately as possible. If you use different ways to peel a tangerine, you will get different results. No one has done it wrong, because no one has done it right." - Joy Li
