Industry in out of the way places

2/2/2019

​So, I've cleared the decks, and am now looking at new subject matter: evidence of industry in out of the way places. I have always had a fascination with industrial landscapes, having grown up with it in my family.

Back in 2007, I made a series of works based around a scrapyard. It was full of life and interesting colours and shapes. I'm now turning my eye to Cumbria's industrial identity. This is how I'm defining the project.

  • Industry as defined as 'hard work', encompassing domestic, wartime, and children's jobs, as well as more conventional activity such as manufacturing and mining.
  • Site specific - all industry, from all time, but with a deliberate focus on out of the way places, such as above 200m. Mountainous regions such as Cumbria, have attracted certain types of industries and work, and the nature of these is very unique due to the geography of the area.

What is the point of art? How do we teach it, interact with it, exhibit it, and sell it? This subject has fascinated me for years.

This is a project that has been in development since 2012 (at least). As any of my friends and colleagues will know, I am a huge fan of the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector, whose work I first came across in Another Magazine.

Home is where the heart is follows on from last year's participatory project Dreaming of home, during which people had been invited to be interviewed about their dream home, in exchange for which, I gave them a painting of the 'interior portrait' they had shared. Home is where the heart is continues to develop the 'home' theme.

Memories of home

In April of 2017, I began to formulate my next step for the 'Dreaming of Home' project. I proposed to interview a further 5 people, and this time record the interview process. I wanted to use this footage in the final exhibition as a means of showing something of the human story behind the final drawing. The theme was still 'home', but this time, I switched emphasis from dreams and desires, to formative memories. I asked the interviewees to recall places of gathering, privacy, inspiration and shelter. The places didn't have to have four walls. The questions were simple, requesting descriptive replies.   ​
