Mindscapes
Mixed-media abstract art series
2018
In 2018, my work began shifting toward an internalized form of mapping, in which space is no longer external but is constructed through perception, memory, and emotion.
These early compositions move away from representation, establishing a visual language rooted in psychological terrain rather than physical geography.
+ Mindscapes: 2018 series overview
• Studio: Newburgh, NY
• 51 series: canvas, paper,
and sculpture
The Perceptual Maps series was created through a combination of acrylic paint, collage, and intentional mark-making. Each work reflects a distinct engagement with spatial logic, perceptual drift, and cognitive navigation. Rather than depicting literal landscapes, the series visualizes mental and emotional environments using geometry, repetition, and layered surfaces.
“Each work traces a shifting mental landscape.”

Concept & Theme: Mindscapes
The work explores the mind as a landscape.
Fragments of lines, zones of color, and layered structures form unstable territories that resist fixed interpretation.
There is no clear orientation, only traces of movement, tension, and accumulation.
Rather than describing a place, the compositions register states of thought in which perception and memory continuously reshape the field.
Materials & Process
The process remains exploratory, driven by accumulation and adjustment.
Acrylic and ink establish layered surfaces, while tape introduces moments of structure that are often disrupted
or redirected.
The compositions evolve through iteration, allowing forms to emerge, dissolve, and reconfigure over time.
Material decisions remain visible, reinforcing the work
as a record of shifting internal states.
Studio & Context
Developed during a period of transition, this body of work marks the emergence of mapping as a central framework
in my practice.
It precedes later, more structured series in which spatial systems become more defined.
Here, the focus remains on the instability of perception
and the construction of inner space.
