Artist
Kirsten Sparenborg
KIRSTEN SPARENBORG {[email protected]} makes art that is explorative, cartographic, earth-bound. Her work interprets the emotional power of place in peoples’ lives, using watercolor, ink, and collage. Maps, mountains/landscape, and sketches/studies offer a visual memory of place at three scales: aerial, distant yet omnipresent, and intimate/inhabited. Altogether, the work may be called architectural map-drawings because it is Kirsten’s education and practice as an architect and urban designer that led her to appreciate and manifest the sensory value of places.
