About
Gateway is a series of collages built from old postcards. Each postcard is digitally scanned, cut, and manipulated to construct new imagined landscapes. The use of vintage postcards allows me to play with the idea of memory and time. Through this process, I aim to blur the lines between the past and the present, reality and fiction, and to create dreamlike vistas that are both nostalgic and otherworldly. Taking the viewer on a journey through a unique and fantastical visual landscape, a gateway into a surreal world.

To ensure the longevity of your print, a few precautionary measures are recommended. Firstly, keep your print out of direct sunlight as UV rays can cause colours to fade over time. When framing, consider using UV-protective, non-reflective glass to protect your print from harmful UV rays. Avoid hanging your print in areas of high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens, as moisture can damage the print.
