About The Art
MAPS
Each piece begins by examining shapes derived from various types of maps. These can range from locations of personal importance to brain scans of different states of mind. Every map serves as an anchor for the internal navigation of my soul. What follows can be seen as a point of departure for the rest of the composition.
My work is densely layered to represent the great lengths one must travel to understand the self. Like each of my works I believe we go through stages of development on our personal journey. Some of these stages we wish to hide away and never reflect upon again. Other stages we display with pride.
