Karey Kessler's "map-paintings" help the artist process the environmental grief and "place-based distress" brought on by climate change; using watercolor, ink, and stencils combined with freehand writing, Kessler imagines geological spaces blended with internal, spiritual worlds. The results illustrate the tangled framework of the mind, made more complex by our lack of assurance about the planet we live on.
