Cement

A one year residency.

There was a sad irony in the decline and final closure of this plant during my residency that reflected my own families experience of the decimation of the motor industry in the midlands where the ‘ job for life’ traditions that once prevailed were betrayed.

It was with such undercurrents in mind that I made the work and see it partly as a testament to aspiration, endeavour, toil, boredom, unlikely beauty and to the memory and passing of those dear to me.
