Maps and Charts

Hello and Thank you for your interest in my work. Your comments are welcome!

Maps and Charts are a group of topographical studies of invented space both atmospheric and terrestrial. They are my own personal exploration of the idea of infinity and what the endless path towards it would look like.

I envision infinity as a series of lines, where they begin and continue to go, unrehearsed, rhythmic, sinuous and flowing, - not defining specific form but instead demonstrating speed, energy and direction. The surface on which the lines travel through is thick and bumpy with layers of paint, recalling the various environments along the path to infinity.
