Using the conceptual space of maps, extensive research, and a painter’s vocabulary, I abstractly visualize information about historic and contemporary topics and events. I do so by combining media including painting, collage, drawing, and printmaking to make works that vary in size from the diminutive dimensions of a child’s atlas page to paintings over twelve feet wide. Rather than employing the concise and analytical languages of fields such as data visualization and cartography, I explore subjects and information using a charged and expressive visual vocabulary that is likely to evoke emotional, visceral and palpable response.
