About the work
Scripting the Land is embedded with multiple histories and time frames. Ideas of dwelling and movement, boundaries and the breaching of borders emerge central to this work. I look at the phenomenon of erasure and volume, the notion of aerial and planar views, cartography as well as the multiple presence of objects, such as the boat, the tent, or the horizon line.
This work looks to the city’s being, marked as it is by historic rupture, a place at once adrift and self-revealing.
