I was invited by the Drawn Chorus Collective to participate in their latest show There and Back Again. For this, I based my works on Percy Fawcett - a British explorer who got lost in the jungles of Brazil in 1925 whilst searching for the Lost City of Z, a name he gave to a city he believed existed deep in the Brazilian region of Mato Grosso.
The Expedition
Percy Fawcett's final expedition consisted of two companions, two labourers, two horses, eight mules, and a pair of dogs.

Dead Horse Camp
Fawcett's last known location. From here, he sends his last letters and is never heard of again.
