A WRENS Nest student has turned maps of the Black Country into works of art for her new solo exhibition.
Aimee Millward's colourful, abstract paintings are currently on display at Dudley Archives and Local History Centre.
The former Dudley College student, who is currently studying fine art the Wolverhampton School of Art, said: “My new work has been stimulated by aerial photographs and maps.
"I studied maps from the collection at Dudley Archives from the 1800s to the present and I focused on this location because I wanted to re-interpret the area that I have been surrounded by since birth, using bright, vivid colours."
The 24-year-old continued: “I wanted to give people a new perspective on traditional maps and was really interested in the process of layering and the dialogue of time, picking up on shapes and lines and then getting the audience to view the work as if they were looking at a map.”
Aimee's Virtual Mirrors (Intersection of the Real and Unreal) exhibition will run at the Tipton Road centre until August 19.
