Visually alluding to the evolving and mutative nature of maps and charts that represent human movement, growth, and development my map work recasts geographic diagrams as organisms: some with an earthy organic flavour while others referencing biological imagery offering a visceral, sinewy, cellular appearance.  The interlocking shapes often inherent in maps, to me, are analogous of the human body: a biological system having individual components that function together as a whole much the same as communities of people do.

My personal map experience that sets bearings and navigational order has fostered a fascination with cartography that is alluring both as a useful tool and as items of aesthetic appeal in themselves.  Researching maps of many cities, regions, and countries, I take pleasure in decrypting the coded information held within the map lines and shapes.  I do not seek to recreate maps as they are works of art in themselves: instead I reinterpret maps in my own anthropomorphic style embedding further conceptual meaning within my creative translations.
