Artist Statement
“Utilizing a variety of media, I tend to focus on the fundamental qualities of mapping: the mysteriousness, inherent biases, cultural authoritativeness, and ability to simultaneously represent and distort reality. The Urban Tablet Series examines various cities, referencing both satellite imagery and road maps.” |
