A No Place Vacation

Painting | 2013–2019 | Exhibited in various iterations and accompanied by a digital guidebook

PROJECT INFORMATION

This series began with the imagined premise of two women taking a holiday to the ruins of utopia. The resulting paintings — and the spin-off works they inspired — unfold like fragments from a lost narrative: glimpses of a journey through a world both idyllic and broken, barely revealed to the viewer emphasising this as an imagined place.
