An artwork showing two bottle-shaped kilns, and their reflections in water below. The kilns are covered in scaffolding. The structure is a warm copper mid brown. The background is a bleached out sunrise, with green centrally and yellow fading into sky blue, also shown in reflection.

I’m currently working on a new #linocut, one that’s been in my head for 20 years, when I took the photos. The former Twyfords factory in #Stoke-on-Trent was being demolished and these two lime kilns were being preserved. This is one of the 3 versions that are in progress: #BottleKilns #printmaking

An industrial folk art painting of two brick bottle kilns sticking out of small, squat shingled houses.

My partner is back in Perth from the UK now, and with him is a painting I bought in a local vintage shop. 🖼

It's such a great example of a representational industrial landscape with a folk art kinda flavour. It's got a slight surreal feel to it as well.

Four images in a block, top left is a black and white photo of two bottle shaped brick kilns covered in scaffolding, reflected in a canal. Top right is my unfinished pencil drawing from the photo, bottom left is an enlarged photocopy of it, and bottom right is a photocopy that I have drawn on, adding reflected lines on the water.

I’m getting back to this linocut development- I love scaffolding on things, but this one’s been confounding me, and I’d left it for a while. Yesterday I picked it up again and it’s going to get done this time! #linocut #wip #BottleKilns #drawing #printmaking
