In My River Runs to Thee, colorful, yet faithfully rendered, topographic models explore the surface tensions of the natural landforms and build environments along the Columbia River from Portland, OR to the confluence with the Pacific Ocean in Astoria, OR.

The theatricality of these monolithic sites, extracted from their setting and surroundings, creates a conversation between notions of intimacy and detachment, appearances and absences, and ultimately maps the ways mythologies are made.
