Mapper's Delight: Nas — Gold Sculpture

Nas mapped Queensbridge so precisely that Illmatic is still used as a case study in narrative geography. Mapper's Delight: Nas takes that mapping impulse and makes it literal — a hand-cast resin sculpture finished in 24k gold leaf, tracing every geographic reference across Nas's full discography.

Part of the Mapper's Delight series. Each sculpture is a data object and a portrait — the geographic footprint of a career compressed into a single gold form. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and ships in custom protective packaging designed for gallery-quality delivery.

Edition of 5. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Ships in custom protective packaging.

A work by Tahir Hemphill — Creative Capital Grantee, Harvard W.E.B. Du Bois Institute Fellow, and artist whose work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art.
