DESCRIPTION : Hempstead’s paper-based practice is a unique form of navigation, “it’s a search for myself, my place, my connection to not only my surrounding environment, but the times we live in.”
Informally termed as memory sketches, the collection of works display the use of a repetitive mark-making technique, whereby Hempstead intricately slices into the surface of the paper. The delicate and precise incisions create three-dimensional surfaces reminiscent of bird flight patterns or ocean tidal sequences.
Utilising the standard rectangular shape of a western map, each paper piece is folded and shaped to connect two previously non-related points. This form of re-mapping allows Hempstead to explore what lies beneath the limitation of the map and western cartography to instead focus on the undulations of terrain and texture of the ground.
