Having had exhibitions of heritage and historic buildings I turned attention to the urban Industrial environment that also exists. Focusing on the Port Adelaide area of factories, chimneys, mazes of pipes, tanks and gantries I explored detail sections of buildings void of human presence but aware that amongst the grime, smells and chaos people actually work here. (Reference the Bruce Springsteen song “Factory”, 1978.)
I also toyed with the idea of irregular shaped drawings to emphasis complexity of the landscape.
