Doors Open Hamilton



Well, what a wonderful surprise THAT was! A huge thanks goes out to Rod Paget, whose hard work, enthusiasm and all sorts of other good things brought together a number of artists who enjoy a fascination with things industrial. Our work was mounted amongst the machinery of the powerplant of the old Westinghouse/CAMCO property, or what is now the McMaster Innovation Park.

I have about 1,000 new reference photos....and heaven knows where to start, so I chickened out on what I wanted to do (a fairly complicated structure) and started with a few simple shapes to see where that led...

hi Rufus,
I was interested to see your work portraying industry in art.
My work is based on past industry. The heavy, post-industrial revolution industry of Northern England and the globalisation and loss of the UK's present industries to the developing third world.
Some of my early work on the theme reminds me of your work.
My recent work produced for my MA in fine art can be seen on www.axisweb.org
it may interest you.
