Temporal Arrangements is a series of sixteen paintings that function as a fragmented memory map—each one a discrete form drawn from places I’ve lived, walked, and imagined. The series explores the architecture of memory through invented geometries, inspired by ancient cartography and the layered construction of cities over time.
Assembled like tiles in a mosaic, the works can be read individually or as a whole. I was especially drawn to the 16th-century map of ancient Rome by Pirro Ligorio, a beautifully speculative reconstruction of a city long gone. His work reminded me that mapping is both an act of remembering and inventing.
In Temporal Arrangements, I test forms as potential monuments—shapes that hold personal resonance, echoes of plazas, thresholds, and in-between spaces from the cities that have shaped me. This is an imagined city of memory, rooted in the tactile practice of drawing and painting.
