I am driven by my need to understand my brother's military experience in the Iraqi desert. Reaching beyond landscape as physical location, my work considers psychological states and imaginary worlds as a way to investigate an expanded idea of place. Awash in satellite imagery and cartographic strategies, I perceive our contemporary, First World existence as a confusion between virtual and visceral landscapes. In this work I am considering the overlap of interior and exterior worlds; mental places conjured for refuge and retreat, and the world existing outside the physical body.
