Page of Cups (2025). Continuing this thread, I use the visual language of cartography to reclaim the map from its colonial and patriarchal traditions of measurement and control. In these works, the map becomes an intuitive tool for tracing the invisible geographies of care, embodiment and intuition.

The above three maps emerged during my gardening residency at The Hide, where mapping became both a method and a meditation….a way of tracing the threads that connect land, memory, ecology and emotion. Each map is less a representation of place than a record of relationship: an unfolding conversation between myself, the environment and the more-than-human world. (2025)
