As part of my exploration of entanglement I create landscapes and maps through various strategies, such as mind mapping, rhizomatic expansion, and drawing techniques that meld lived experience with poetic visuals.
This first work is titled 3:5. It is a drawing that expands through the ongoing addition of new panels (each is 17 x 14 inches). This project was exhibited at the SAIC Open Studio event, July 2024.
The second image is A section from A Brief History of Meaning-making on Gaia (2008-present). This work is rendered using ink on canvas (140 x 53 inches). This project resembles a large-scale mind map and is derived from philosophy, scholarship as well as community-based research and teaching. Through this artwork I reflect on the quality of dialogue, exchange of knowledge, and sharing of ideas that emerges from collective mind mapping—a valuable experience through which to visualize entanglements and relationality. This project was exhibited at the SAIC Galleries, Chicago, IL in July, 2025.
The third image is Energy Flows: Memory, Reciprocity and the Borderlands. This work is rendered using graphite, watercolour, collage, and fabric (144 x 48 inches). This project was exhibited at the SAIC Galleries, Chicago, IL in July, 2025.
