Tension and vibrations are formed between lines and objects producing surface energy, where everything is temporal.

Architecture forms a sense of language that is deeply embedded into our experience of place and collective memory. Spaces, both real and imagined, create memory maps that link the experiences of our lives together. Lost City Archives represents a quiet solitude of a fantastical place. The work combines intricate linear graphics that form an overall calming sense of order and balance. It is a culmination of trips not yet taken in search of roots and connections. It resides in the imagination, caught in glimpses out of the corner of the eye. For many years this ‘place’ has been revealing itself to me in fleeting moments. I have an unexplained familiarity and passion towards cultures and places that are not part of my genetic make up. In hopes of gathering more pieces of the puzzle, Lost City Archives is an exploratory journey of these moments.
