The textured surfaces of the Topographic Iterations series appear like a birds-eye view of a desert landscape— fissures and mounds across a speckled grey terrain. Closer examination of the prints reveals that each work is actually a high resolution photograph taken of a crumpled piece of white Japanese Masa paper, which is then printed on another sheet of Masa paper at the same scale, and then crumpled once more. The final object is an edition of 6 unique variants resulting in an interaction of printed (replicated) crumples and real crumples. Through this process, each print becomes its own unique work, extending from the wall like an abstracted topographic map.
