The artists chosen for this exhibition incorporate unconventional materials to create works of art that challenge preconceived notions of purpose. All use these materials in surprising and inventive ways. Some reference personal convictions, memories, and associations, while others call attention to and provide commentary on our disposable and wasteful culture.
Mapping Nowhere is an investigation of place, land, and how we identify ourselves through location. Map imagery as well as aerial and satellite photography have long influenced my works which all refer to specific places and my relationship to those places- from interchanges on the highway I traverse every day to places I’ve lived.
