“Some, however, would derive the word from sans terre without land or a home, which, therefore, in the good sense, will mean, having no particular home, but equally at home everywhere.”
-Henry David Thoreau Walking
Growing up in two countries on two continents has resulted in my status as a constant but invisible foreigner. I translate this feeling in my work by creating spaces that reveal specific parts of a story while purposefully leaving others hidden. By making use of memories of places that I know well, I create abstracted maps that allow the viewer to dwell in a space of remembering. The lines are drawn from walks that now exist only in my memory; one can never find his or her place in them. In drawing these maps I hope to combat a fear of forgetting that looms continuously, yet intangibly, overhead.
