“There is great allure in the idea of working within the remains of industrial works. As an apprentice I worked in a large old industrial complex and in my travels as a blacksmith have spent time in many similarly gigantic practical and beautiful spaces. There is a particular almost sublime Lilliputian element about unseemly large buildings filled with pipes and machinery often so specialised and particular my imagination can only move to the magical and the unlikely. The Liddell power station holds this allure of the gargantuan and unfamiliar. There is also the added element of it being in my own backyard and representing contentious political and social issues of the present. Issue that for better or worse shapes our futures. I want to lean into that and be part of the story of this place.”
