Artist Statement
Everyday, I think about tracing and retracing paths, and how doing that makes them known and familiar. I also think about the differences between collective knowledge and individual experiences, and how the physical environment, which constitutes a landscape, as well as political, social and personal experience, establishes whom I am. This makes up the description of my personal geography; it is overlapping with the physical terrain, and at the same time it is a process of constant change and endless evolving.
My work arises out of a desire to capture experience, an impulse to locate, arrange and secure the past. Like a mapmaker identifies a place, I am thinking about how I could map out my inner life of thoughts, emotions and mental states, while also questioning the underlying structures and hierarchies that inform traditional mapmaking. Through walking, mapping and use of text, I investigate how the larger shape of cultural memory affects my personal history, a history that changes, fragments and blurs over time.
