Embedded
A meditation on existence in nature.
This site is still becoming. These abstractions are fragments of memory—what lingers, what returns, what remains.

Unfixed Cartographies


Unfixed Cartographies began in 2023 with spiral wire taken from an old art school book that belong to my  late son. The work resists resolution: forms curl, loop, and reconfigure like rhizomes beneath a scorched surface. These are not symbols but sensations—emotional cartographies drawn from a body learning to grieve without collapsing. 
Working with paper, wire, charcoal, and pastels, I explore light, mid-tones, and the spaces between lines. The practice functions as a meditative response to uncertainty, holding presence and absence in tension.  A lesson to accept  processes.

TRAVESIAS
[Translation: a journey]

A hand traces a path—deliberate, fluid, non-linear—drawing as if discovery were happening in real time. The gesture echoes the colonial habit of “mapping” territory as though it were empty: lines imposed over a space already lived in, already named, already dense with other presences.

The act is pleasurable to watch and to perform. That pleasure is the rupture. It asks what it means to enjoy the making of a mark that can also erase—how seduction can disguise violence, how easy it is to mistake inscription for understanding.

Travesías lingers in that contradiction: a soft choreography of control, a quiet question about how we move through the world—whether we dwell with what is there, or redraw it to fit our hand.
