Exploring geography, cartography, history, and travel, The Great Lakes of North America is a visual examination of the Great Lakes region. Using layers of color reminiscent of a 1960's school textbook, maps of the Lakes are rearranged and layered with routes traveled by French explorers, freight ships, and the artist's own family.
