Mental Maps
My drawings are cartographies of the subconscious that refer to time and memory as uncharted territory. I'm interested in states of mind, how experience is translated into thought, and how dreams jumble reality. Maps of ancient ruins and contemporary cities are part of a layered network of pathways, spirals, and switchbacks that conflates the concrete world with the invisible mind. Each Mental Map drawing is constructed with layers of hand-cut paper, ink, and gouache. Several of these drawings were exhibited in 2017 at Carroll and Sons Gallery in Boston, MA.
