COAST GOLD is a collection of photographic collages built on existing or demolished mid century modern architectural expressions on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

The artistic interpretations create a future nostalgia, with the recent past transformed by a layer of post modernist shapes and colours, creating a landscape where memories intersect with artistic possibilities of an imagined future

"I DREAMED OF A FUTURE LOST IN MY PAST"

This tagline resonates deeply with the universal desire to somehow reconcile one's own past with the present. To find solace in the familiarity of one's history, while being able to embrace future possibilities.

Perfect for architecture enthusiasts, dreamers, and artists alike, COAST GOLD presents my personal look at a fusion of my memories and my artistic expression.
