Fiery Escape (Gold)

Laser engraved gold acrylic, 2024

9.4” x 9.8” (24 x 25 cm framed) 

£150

Created by etching (laser burn) the original ink drawing onto metallic sheeting. Many of the dragon images are recreated in laser etch, a technique that literally burns the lines into the base, thematically fitting for a series about dragons!

On the ground below is the last love of our dragon, laying dead surrounded by arrows, punctured. The only chance to live is to escape, breathing fire the dragon flies through the air looking beyond the below to a new life. One as a hunted creature in the wilderness. This work focusses on the final moments as the dragon couple are disentangles, leading the dragon ever closer to the final lonely path of extinction.
