It's not what most people would think of perhaps, but I found the plant to be beautiful in many ways and this show is partly about that. Glowing lights, shining parts, patterns, movements. It's all in where you stand and how you look. A factory is as beautiful in it's way as a beaver dam, they're far from perfect of course in their usual set-up, but none of that is essential to what they are. I miss the van plant most days and I miss the shaft of light shining in just over my shoulder, filling the space with gentle light.
