Artist Statement
My work explores the relationship between people and the land through the translation of landscapes via various systems and perspectives. These representations reveal how we live, work, and what we value. I incorporate a mix of linear and geometric shapes, combined with divergent perspectives, suggesting the way landscapes are perceived from literal and metaphorical distances. Using GPS, paper, and aerial maps, I address contemporary landscapes, examining their organization, viewpoints, and navigation methods. Repurposing materials from home remodeling and construction projects such as house paint, wallpaper, and wood scraps add dimension and texture to my art, creating a tactile connection to the built environment. This ongoing series reflects the transformation of landscapes and the evolving relationship between people and the natural world amidst continuous expansion and construction.
