The Mariner’s Dreams (2024/25)

The Mariner’s Dreams Series

This series follows a loose arc, moving from fluid, abstract waveforms to structured scenes that build toward a symbolic climax. Natural elements — water, rock, sky — combine with constructed forms such as lighthouses, anchors, and portals. These juxtapositions suggest themes of grounding versus drift, orientation amid chaos, and the psychological weight of journey.

Recurring Motifs

• Towers, ropes, beams, and birds form a mythic language.
• They imply longing, witness, transition, and transformation.
• Each artwork stands alone yet contributes to a larger poetic continuum.

Composite photography intensifies the surreal tone. Layered textures and atmospheres evoke memory haze, dream logic, and the compression of the subconscious.

Tone and Colour

The series shifts from cool blues and whites to warmer, more psychedelic hues. This progression mirrors a deepening into the mariner’s inner world. By the final piece, nature and symbolism collide with raw drama — a culmination of visual and emotional forces.

The Mariner’s Dreams is ultimately a voyage through perception and solitude, a tribute to the power of narrative abstraction and visual metaphor.

The Craft of a Limited Edition

Every piece is personally inspected. Only when it meets my standard do I sign and number it in pencil. Each edition is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, embossed and signed — a final mark of provenance and exclusivity.

Archival Printing

Printed on Hahnemühle Museum Etching, a 350gsm natural white cotton paper with a finely textured surface that reveals depth and nuance in every tone. Free from optical brighteners, acid and lignin free, it is crafted to endure for generations. Each work is produced using archival pigment inks, tested for lightfastness and stability, ensuring that colour and detail remain true and luminous over time.

Aluminium Mount

Each print is precision‑bonded to a rigid aluminium backing, creating a seamless surface that enhances both strength and elegance. The mount gives the work a reassuring solidity while remaining lightweight, ensuring it hangs perfectly flat without warping over time. The brushed aluminium edge catches the light with a subtle sheen, reinforcing the sense that this is not just a print, but a crafted object designed for the gallery wall.

Aluminium Sub‑Frame

On the reverse, a discreet aluminium sub‑frame provides strength and stability while remaining lightweight. Designed to create a subtle floating effect, it lifts the work slightly away from the wall so that light can play around its edges. This hidden structure ensures the piece hangs perfectly flat and true, reinforcing the sense of refinement and presence in any setting.

Hand‑Signed & Certified

Every piece is personally inspected. Only when it meets my standard do I sign and number it in pencil. Each edition is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, embossed and signed — a final mark of provenance and exclusivity.
