The Cartography of Silence

The work explores the paradox of Silence; the complexities of staying silent, being still, and listening. Silence is not an absence; it is charged with meaning and action. Exploring silence means to speak of a multitude of paradoxes, considering the power drawn from the stillness of nature, meditation, or words left unspoken. My hope is to create an invitation for you to explore your relationship with silence – be it alone or with others. Do you feel like you have to fill the silence of your home or mind with music or tv in the background? Can you sit with another and not say a word or are you scouring your mind for something to say? Can you find your Silence? When are you comfortable or uncomfortable with Silence?
