"I make maps. One of the questions I am always trying to answer with my maps is: what does it mean to say "YOU ARE HERE"? For me, my experience of HERE is both an external experience of the physical environment and at the same time an internal experience of the emotions, memories and thoughts that a place, space or time evokes...A real map shows you how to get from point A to point B, but there is no map to show you how to navigate your own emotional and mental landscape...allows me to link one idea or place to another-- creating a network of memories, landscapes and mystical places. For example, a line on one of my maps might begin as a network of roads and then turn into celestial ladders, which then lead to the realm of angels. With maps I can make things that don't usually fit together onto a grid in neat systems-- like emotions, memories and thoughts -- fiat into some sort of complex whole..."
