Ironworks

I come from a family of engineers. We have lived in the black country for generations, going back to the beginning of the industrial revolution, It is part of our DNA.

Unfortunately I am not an engineer… yet something got absorbed.

Keeping in mind the pitfalls of messing with something so undeniably beautiful, I have directly used vintage drawings as the base structure of the paintings.

As an artist, I do not instinctively understands the drawings technical language, which gives me the advantage of accepting the drawings for their aesthetic value over their function.

I have honoured my ancestors by naming the paintings after them.
