Drawing from sources as varied as architectural plans, musical scores, Indian Korwa drawings, Eastern landscape paintings, and the passionate scribbles of "outsider" artists, my work addresses the relationship of the body to psychological and architectural spaces. Abstracted maps of travels both literal and figurative, the images investigate the way the physical self experiences the world's vast network of competing stimuli, offering intricately imagined networks of "information" suggestive of those continually swirling wtihin our minds, in our text messages, and from our laptops. My current project responds to continuing shifts in the usage and conceptualization of space in Kyoto, Japan, where I currently live and work. Inspired by the network of tiny streets that make up the city's labyrinthine neighborhoods, these new works examine the competing demands of technological advancement and the preservation of tradition. Abstracted mappings of these conflicting aims, the images evoke the cheerful mania, occasional sadness, and frequent elegance of modern living.
