These paper works are sensual interpretations of hydrological data. Created by cutting away layers of ground, they evoke the process by which rivers mark the landscape. By eliminating all of the man-made structures that usually inform our location in space, these relief topographies leave only the river basin to contemplate. What at first might seem disorienting leads to the possibility of re-orienting, of identifying with and within these natural systems.
