Nikki Rosato’s dissected images use vintage road maps’ thoroughfares, roads and highways, whittling away at their land masses, until they create two people gazing into each other’s eyes (Couple: Boston, MA). It’s the kind of art that dazzles the mind, making you wonder how someone could have possibly come up with such a brilliant idea. I’m grateful she did, as her genius metaphors for connection, internal emotional maps and personal travel histories all connected deeply with me.
