incredible, beautiful cut-paper collage drawings by val britton. i make immersive collaged drawings that draw on the language of maps. the impetus for this body of work was my longing to connect to my father, a truck driver who drove eighteen-wheelers across the country hauling industrial machinery. he died over ten years ago. based on road maps of the u.s., routes my father often traveled, and an invented conglomeration, mutation, and fragmentation of those passageways, my works on paper help me piece together the past and make up the parts i cannot know.
