For the past three years, I have been working on My Land, a
project in which I give myself absolute autonomy to create a
world according to my own rules. This long-term project contains
drawings and sculptures that represent maps and artifacts of an
imagined territory, which exists outside our perception of time
and does not correspond to any known culture. The territory
has its own systems of logic, language, and measurement that
function only within themselves. I consider the project a thought
experiment concerning a foreign universe in which the viewer
must completely abandon her own personal experience to adapt
to the arbitrary systems.
