As I practice as an artist in my spare time, my occupation at John Kerr Metals, family-run metal recycling site, tends to influence a lot of my artwork with industrial and environmental themes. This ranges from creating sculpture from recycled material to painting

In the Air

This acrylic painting shows a scrap car that will be crushed into a bale being lifted into place by a crane. From an environmental perspective, most cars have a 95% recycling target. As such, I wanted to create an idyllic skyscape with a twist. I stood underneath the machinery to take the reference photographs to create this unique angle.
