Field Notes
A map is never still.
Water moves.
Borders move.
Memory moves.
The landscape beneath the landscape remains.
I began with questions:
What existed before these lines were drawn?
What remains when boundaries disappear?
What can be remembered through accumulation?
A single dot is almost nothing.
Thousands become a place.

Undulating Memories is a painting-based study of changing landscapes, water systems, and the relationship between place and memory.
Built through thousands of individually placed dots, the work traces historical waterways and patterns of habitation in Connecticut before European colonization. Layers of color shift between density and transparency, reflecting the movement of water, the instability of borders, and the ways landscapes continue to change over time.
