Painting the interior of a decommissioned coal-fired power station was an incredible experience. Industrial colours are surprisingly vibrant and this, along with the strip lighting and sunlight pouring in from outside on the upper level, created sharp areas of contrast which were a joy to paint.
Though the time I spent at Liddell was limited, the station’s history was strongly present in the front of my mind. I hoped to produce a tribute to its industrial past, honouring the site’s legacy while providing a perspective on the beauty that these huge buildings, in my opinion, hold.
