The second part of this collection is from her new digital project where she has updated each US State motto and seal. In this project she has transliterated each US state motto into the state's top five languages and then back into English via Google translate and for the seal she has taken a snapshot of each state in Google earth by using the flight simulator and a time layered satellite image, which are then manipulated via Paint.

Informazioni sull'autore
I describe my artwork as fragmentary narrative landscapes, or anti-stories that contain a flash of action or the hint of a non-linear narrative. They're visual contemporary companions to writers such as, Lydia Davis, Martha Ronk, or Diane Williams. The icons that I use within these abstract landscapes are narrative motifs that touch on the conflicting ideas of joy and melancholy, as well as community and aloneness in regards to the concept of home and communication. I like to use the house as a symbol in my paintings because their simplicity obscures the complex and uniquely personal relationship that each viewer has to an idea of ‘home’. The telephone poles are a universal and quickly fading icon of communication that symbolize emotional connection, formality, privacy, disconnection and alienation.
