CHRONICLE

Chronicle (2021-) is a series visualizing colonization globally over the last six centuries. The central portion of this project consists of eight artworks, an 8 x 14 foot painting of the world, and one painting of each continent and surrounding region. In each, countries are painted the predominant color of their national flag. On top, painted and drawn lines connect colonizing/controlling with colonized nations, which are also in the dominant country’s color. The lines are rendered in chronological order starting with the year 1400. (The exception is Antarctica, which, with no inhabitants, is painted in pie slice-like colors representing primary claims and treaty consultants, plus hundreds of unrecognized claims painted as small flag-like rectangles.) The ongoing series includes numerous works on paper, atlases, and notebooks.
