Unmapping Assiniboia
2014

works on paper
18" x 31" framed

A series of cartographic pieces that focus on structures of colonial claiming. Working from archival settlement maps, I draw, reproduce, and then erase the colonial tracks, digging out the grid, the railways, and the names. This is a process, a ritual of undoing. The pieces show the scars, the detritus of removal, while imagining a possible decolonized land.
