Topologies
. . . . . . . . . .
Images from particle physics, satellite photography, biotechnology,
radiology, geological survey maps,have all served as influences on my work.
My paintings, prints, and drawings relate to our human need to construct our
experiences in nature using involved systems of design and technology. We
are unable to separate our more direct experiences of the natural world from
what we know of nature through technological advancements in image making.
In some of my work I have taken apart the visual language of charting,
and reconstructed this language to create imaginary maps. The maps become
metaphors for inner journeys, and are also meant to suggest playful and
whimsical approaches to the usually serious function of diagrams. Games,
puzzles, and maps can be seen as points of reference into the world of the
imagination which strives to create order, systems, and microcosms out of a
vaster and more unpredictable universe.
