Cartographic Art
More recently, Wood has joined his expertise in cartography with his interest in art and art history. A collage artist and painter, he has created in recent years a bibliography and history of cartographic art; work that from the Dadaist to the present have used maps as a medium for the exposition of cultural and political ideas and ideals. Again, the general thesis is the same as in Wood’s other work: images—whether map, art, or artful maps—present a thesis through selection of subject matter self-consciously arranged through a medium’s tools of exposition.
