Available through Air Contemporary Piccadilly, London. Original 3D mixed media collage artwork created from vintage maps sourced from antique atlases, sea charts and archival world map publications. Each map fragment is carefully selected for its colour, texture and cartographic detail, then hand-bonded onto wood and laser cut into individual circular elements. The dots are arranged into a mathematically precise geometric composition, creating a structured field of colour that shifts from yellow through to green and turquoise. The work explores ideas of voyage, movement and connection. Fragments of coastlines, islands, borders and open water are brought together into a single ordered composition, reflecting the way places, people and histories overlap through travel, migration and shared experience. The colour arrangement gives the piece a gentle sense of atmosphere and movement, with the cooler blues suggesting sea, distance and open space, while the warmer central tones create a quiet focal point within the grid. Mounted on white gesso board, the piece balances the aged surface of vintage printed maps with repetition, rhythm and contemporary geometry. Every dot has a subtle three-dimensional quality, giving the artwork depth and movement as light changes across the surface. 70 x 70 cmFramed in a white box frameReady to hang Protected with museum-quality UV perspex glazing to help prevent fading and allow for safe worldwide shipping.

Contemporary mixed-media artist transforming vintage maps into colour-rich geometric artworks exploring place, memory and belonging.

Amelia Coward is a British contemporary artist whose work transforms vintage maps and archival printed material into intricate, colour-rich geometric collages.

Trained in Textile Design at Central Saint Martins and Woven Textiles at the Royal College of Art, Amelia brings the principles of weaving—rhythm, repetition, structure and the interaction of colour—to her artistic practice.

Each artwork begins with carefully selected maps, atlases, botanical books or encyclopedias. These original papers are hand-bonded onto birch wood, laser-cut into individual circles or strips, and meticulously arranged by hand. The resulting surfaces sit between collage, painting and sculpture, with a subtle three-dimensional quality that changes as light moves across the work.

Through her use of maps, Amelia explores ideas of place, memory, migration, belonging and the shifting nature of borders. Based in Kent, England, she works from an extensive archive of maps collected over more than 25 years.

Her work ranges from intimate pieces to large-scale artworks for residential, hospitality, healthcare and corporate interiors worldwide. Bespoke commissions can incorporate personally significant locations, carefully considered colour palettes and site-specific dimensions.
