Paradise Lost

Gutterdust’s Palmtree Collective is much, much more than an artistic approach towards photography. Gutterdust shot all of these images on film. The archaic analogue process that makes a partnership with the artist. Knobs are twisted, chemicals used and mechanical mistakes made, the convoluted route that embraces these fabulous flawed results. Splashed with light leaks, and the brushes strokes of multiple and over exposures the images are authentic and evocative with strong scents of summer breeze and fresh cut lawn. They are a refined collection of wonderfully tactile textures with a top down wind in the hair feeling that Gutterdust has developed into the Palmtree Collective.

From Santa Monica to Bali with palm stops between, the Palmtree Collective are images Gutterdust shot across the Globe.. Momentos of tropical daliances in gilded lands. Whimsical in execution. Moody and exotic in realisation.

“Everything is Fake. All is permited, so keep a Wishbone between your Teeth. Writing Liberty across the Sky, aiming for a Miracle.”
