Lordy Rodriguez

Lordy Rodriguez (born 1976 in Quezon City, Philippines) is a contemporary artist who uses cartography and maps to reconfigure factual locations and create fictional assemblage pieces. Inspired by family road trips across the country, Rodriguez was influenced by the maps his family used to navigate the country.[1]

Rodriquez has had solo exhibitions at the Austin Museum of Art (Austin, TX),[2] the Hosfelt Gallery (San Francisco, CA), and Clementine Gallery (New York).
