In this composition, Goggin utilizes the tactile nature of collage to explore the architectural and cultural landmarks of Sydney. By layering disparate elements—likely a mix of typography, maps, and local iconography—the artist creates a dense, vertical narrative that mimics the experience of navigating a bustling metropolis. The portrait orientation emphasizes the height of the city’s skyline while allowing the viewer’s eye to climb through various strata of memory and design.

The work avoids a singular focal point, instead inviting a rhythmic exploration of the frame. The interplay of graphic shapes and vintage-inspired textures suggests a city that is constantly being built upon its own past. It is a grounded tribute to place, where the physical act of cutting and pasting mirrors the way we collect and store impressions of the places we visit.
