Working on the Railroad (the Engine Room)
New paintings on steel, 2010
I have called on a body of photographic material taken by amateur rail enthusiasts over many decades. I have altered scenes to make new compositions. These genre paintings are set in the period 1950-1970. These paintings are round steel artefacts, narrative memories from an engine room.
