I have decided to work on paper for a while. I think that canvas was too “precious”. Anyway, this has started to work. I have produced looser work that is, I think, a bit better. I just need to remember to use the same technique on canvas.
I used some of the details of my drawings of the power station to make some dark paintings. The first is about the looming, dark, impenetrability of the building. Also, something about degeneration – let’s face it, these buildings are going to be around for centuries. The second painting is more about logic – I was thinking about the science involved in the splitting of the uranium atom to produce nuclear fission. The third painting is part of the building with a sort of bridge. It is about the bridge between the natural and unnatural environment and is as yet unfinished.
