Why It Matters
As a paired release, Destination completes a two-part narrative alongside Purpose, reflecting The Jaunt's journey-based framework. The bleach-and-acid hand-finishing on a crisp white heavyweight stock gives it Vhils's reactive, eroded surface treatment at a more substantial scale than its risograph companion, strengthening its standalone display value.
Collector Perspective
Collectors chasing completeness will want both Jaunt #093 works, though Destination holds its own as a larger silkscreen. At 300 plus 30 APs it is a broad edition, and the acid finishing means surface variation from sheet to sheet. The 50 x 70 cm size and archival Keaykolour stock make it a versatile, framing-friendly acquisition.
Historical Context
The Jaunt frequently pairs works or releases layered editions tied to a single artist trip, and #093 follows that model. Keaykolour is a coloured fine-paper line favoured for its consistent surface. Vhils's combination of silkscreen with reactive bleach and acid extends his wall-erosion aesthetic into the controlled environment of the print studio.
