Maps

...the world becomes the archetype of every creative human gesture, whatever its plane of reference may be.
- Mircea Eliade

Inspired by topographical maps, which study the forms and features of land surfaces, the Maps inform and depict centers of energy and patterns of an imagined alternate environment. The work becomes a process of deciphering signals, of noticing and understanding clues that may pass by without recognition.
