New Haven, Three Views, (Seascape, Bento, and Streetscape) is my examination of the natural, physical, and cultural geographies that shaped my experience growing up in the Connecticut city. Seascape depicts the natural geography onto which the original nine squares were imposed, while Streetscape shows the divergence of the street system from the nine-square plan. Bento uses the map of Downtown New Haven as a place for displaying objects I’ve accumulated over time in the city. All three pieces were cut from my mother’s old medical school textbooks, referencing what brought my family to the city originally.
