This exhibition features the work of Darren Goins, Mario Marzan, Renee Van der Stelt, and Rosemary Winn, and explores the use of mapping as a way of assessing, depicting, and charting the world around us. Employing a diverse array of media and techniques including constructed photographs, sculptural/video installation, printmaking, digital images, collage, and cut paper, each artist visualizes or “maps” memory in a unique way.
