Diamond Road Bakery Painting

Industrial Estates, Business Parks, these names suggest great industry and activity, the sense of the engine behind the economy. Ubiquitous throughout the industrial world, they store goods in transit and provide environments for light industry. Essentially these buildings are cheap and quick to build, providing an empty hollow space, which can be adapted for a variety of goods in a changing market place. They are a barometer of the flux and change of economic and technological movements. Businesses come and go, and distant landlords fail to maintain their properties. Often situated on the fringes of the city and suburbia, at weekends and in the evening, they are wastelands, there is something uncanny about them. Places of loneliness and of fear, close to arterial roads and transport networks, they seem to function outside the town or city. Driving through them can seem like entering a psychologically and geographically alien space and to walk in them seems even more so. But in my paintings the ground drips and falls away from their foundations, suggesting both the changing nature of market forces and the impact of industry on our planet, the very ground we walk collapses as a result of many manufacturing processes. Absent Landlords fail to maintain these hastily built structures and they so often seem dilapidated and in a semi state of collapse. Their profit and loss is written on their exterior walls and in my paintings the falling ground upon which they precariously stand, reveal uncertain foundations that drain from under them in watery insubstantial drips.
