Drawing journey...

'Turn left off the main road, through the small gap in the hedge, cross two fields and jump the river, walk to the end of the hedge, climb over the gate with the ancient padlock, make a path through the tall bullrush grass'...

Abandoned shack is an attempt to take recognisable pieces of an image and draw something that doesn't quite make sense to the viewer. Elements of the space I drew in are clumped together, flipped over and distorted to make, not so much an abstract image, but rather one where you're brain says its a shack but your eyes question what they are looking at. 
I'm working on a series of drawings in this style, trying to get as far away from my original work as possible. 
I want each drawing to either be a specific part of the journey brought together in one image or a conclusion to a single journey.
