Steel City Artwork - Limited Edition of 50

These works were inspired by Sheffield's heyday as the leading manufacturer of steel and local cutlery works. Sheffield became known as Steel City. As a girl my mother would sometimes take me along Tembleborough (where Roman remains have been found) to Sheffield. We would pass Steel, Peach and Tozer and the doors would often be open. I found it exciting to see the huge furnaces burning hot. At the age of 11 or 12, we did a school visit to that very steel mill. It was so hot inside, one of the guides standing next to me, yelled loudly in my ear; yet I could not hear what he said, there was so much noise. We watched molten metal poured and pounded into strips. I've never forgotten any of it. This is me recapturing those days in abstract from my own photos. All A3 prints are on archival paper and inks using a Canon printer.
