A4 etching, collagraph, ink and gold leaf on paper

This mixed media artwork is part of a series that delves into the abstract world of imagined futures and anticipated destinations. Whether it's a physical place you're planning to visit, like a future holiday spot, or a metaphorical journey toward a point in your life, the work captures the space between expectation and reality. Floating, abstract shapes representing the fluid and ever-shifting nature of our perceptions.

The layers and textures created through printmaking and ink hint at the complexity of imagining a place before experiencing it, and how our mental images inevitably transform into memories once we arrive.
