Northern Counties, Minnesota is an ephemeral photography piece that I created in collaboration with the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD). The artistic inspiration for the piece were the works of Dutch contemporary artist Herman de Vries. The piece focuses on themes of traditional Americanism and the way common objects are viewed as art. The piece consists of a framed and varnished map, placed in an ornate frame, as if it was a valued historical piece of art, and placed on a blank wall with a positioned person taking a photograph, as if in a museum.
