Stick Maps

American artist Greg Colson uses salvaged materials to create three-dimensional "stick maps' of cities such as Cleveland, Brooklyn and San Jose. These sculptures are built of found lengths of various materials; measuring sticks, curtain rods, plastic plumbing pipe, wood molding – the structure becoming a metaphor for the manifold influences on a city.
