    Gold in Fine Art / Landscape

Lost America examines a quiet stillness in a forgotten landscape that is, in a sense: ‘on-pause’. Places appear frozen in time, their inhabitants absent or long since departed. Ardently stagnant in their appearance, the images aim to unlock a moment of reflective contemplation and instil a melancholic feeling of familiarity. One might not first notice or acknowledge these spaces, yet, when framed as a single vignette, the places can appear to echo a moment of mournful reverie. Or, for some, they might behold an alluringly sombre, everlasting impression.
