Val Britton:
My immersive, collaged works on paper draw on the language of maps. Initially, I began this body of work as a way to connect to my father, a long haul cross-country truck driver who died when I was young. Based on road maps, routes my father often traveled, and an invented conglomeration and fragmentation of those passageways, my works on paper help me piece together the past and make up the parts I cannot know.
