These drawings are made with graphite on silk, forming abstract landscapes in which figure and ground begin to collapse into one another. Tracing and mark-making overlap, producing moments where foreground and background become indistinguishable. The series repositions “Gan Eden” within the landscape of California, shifting it away from its scriptural and geographic origins. Here, Eden is not a fixed site, but something that emerges through the changing experience of the land, where the real and the imagined remain entangled. These images hold the tension between the beauty of the landscape and its contested histories, allowing both to remain visible at once.
