These drawings begin with spatial data – hydrological and topographical blueprints –, which are then layered with local artifacts of a human connection to place – rocks collected along lakes and streams. I grind the rocks into pigment, then mix it with water and gum arabic to make watercolor paint. By reframing our boundaries and our relationships with the world, these works highlight our inherent interconnectedness and interdependence.
