This is an exploration in imaginary creative geovisualization.
By using an imaginary landscape as a site where traditional motifs and methods of geographic visualization are explored, the boundaries of geovisualization are expanded. Geographic space and natural phenomena give data on how the environment behaves, grows and changes. We can understand our environment at a deeper ecological level through field work, data collection, mapping, and topographic models.
I understand my imaginary environment by machining and letting the form and material guide my path. Visual representation is not restricted by medium or method: it exists to understand our spaces, both physical and speculative.
