I am interested in the space between the map and what is mapped. Maps have an agenda; the demonstration of power and politics as well as the description of landscape. There is also the first hand experience of what is mapped, not as territory but simply as place. All of our experience takes place somewhere and our ideas themselves become part of our landscape. These ideas infused with story and myth underlie our histories. In these prints I think about locating everyday experience in the map, taking into account what we feel intimately and bringing it to a larger scale.
A great resurgence in story telling is taking place. People are searching for stories, recognizing a need for them. This shows up on the internet in blogs and short videos that comment on everything from the state of the world, to life and love. Whether we are part of a community or passing through, our stories affect how we understand a place as a landscape, as part of a country or as home.
