My current work incorporates old U.S. road maps in aims of exploring how resources that were once used for informational data can be reexamined in a modern artistic context and found to offer new meaning. By cutting up and rearranging maps, I create a new landscape. Within this unexplored territory, I negotiate the planned and the instinctual, both in my art making practice and stylistically within each piece. As I move between the gestural and precise, the premeditated and unintended, I simultaneously grapple with and embrace the role that intuition, instinct and uncertainty play in reaching one’s goal. Thus, while the map is normally thought of as a resolute guide, my work explores how representations of maps can be used to express that which is more ambiguous and subjective.
