Impossible Cloud 9, pen and ink on paper, 32 x 40 in. My drawings attempt to create maps out of phenomena that are inherently resistant to the act of map making because they are continually altered either through natural forces or by human intervention. Depicting areal views of mine sites and cloud formations respectively, these drawings create intricate networks of lines, patterns and symbols to articulate both the solidity and the ephemerality of these forms. Utilising an elaborate technique of pen and ink draftsmanship, my aim is to to have these drawings function as maps not just of the specific sites depicted but also of internal states, which like clouds or mines are equally beholden to the laws of change.
