“In 2018, climate scientists issued an alarming report on the climate crisis. My studio and I were fueled by an urgency to act. We looked for other moments in history when humans radically changed their minds—about ideas ranging from the Earth’s position in the solar system to views on women’s and civil rights. Drawing on classical ‘memory palace’ techniques that suggest ideas are best remembered when located in space, we constructed a large model atlas mapping a selection of places where thinking changed. An edition of die-cut artist’s books accompanied the work. Each page contains a single map. Layering them unifies these narratives of change.”
