Examined through the lens of biology and culture, Topography of Being aims to visualize the unknown and to plot a course through space and mind.
Structure and pattern from brain anatomy and function are etched, printed, and layered on paper that is cut, realigned, and recombined with cultural and topographical elements.
Science, combined with interpretations created with a needle scratched through metal, tells a universal and idiosyncratic story. The work grapples with systems in the brain responsible for memory, perception, and navigation -- systems critical to an understanding of identity and one's place in the world.
