Golden Gateways examines the notion of utopia as an antithesis to the socio-political structures investigated in previous works, exploring ways in which our imagination enables our escape.
In a bizarre act of vandalism, the artist has meticulously applied gold leaf to gate locks located in and around the Lake District National Park, notionally transforming them into magical portals - providing access to a world more mystical and utopian.
These images, framed with embellished gold, serve to examine our relationship with the natural world and the ideals we impose upon it, a notion that chimes with the Lake District’s Romantic legacy as a transcendent landscape.
