Since 2017 a contract for a series of Type 26 Frigates at the Govan yard has kept thousands of workers busy. In my drawings I’ve been able to capture an incredible change in Clydebuilt shipbuilding which I’ll describe in my talk online tonight Wednesday 12th Nov 6pm. @scottishgallery

I think the tools of industry have a particular beauty. In these still lives I have tried to curate arrangements that feature the sorts of implements I use every day in my painting studio, alongside the vices, spanners and drills I often come across in the yards. @scottishgallery

Britain’s industry can feel at odds with its pastoral beauty, but artist @lachlangoudie.bsky.social sees deep connections.
His #fromtheforesttotheforge exhibition runs 30 Oct–22 Nov at The Scottish Gallery, Edinbugh.

My visit to @tatasteeluk Port Talbot blast furnaces in 2017 was awe-inspiring. Clothed in layers of protective equipment I was allowed to watch as giant ladles were manoeuvred into position before being tipped over, pouring molten steel into the furnaces @scottishgallery

Growing up in Glasgow I often heard my father describe the days when the Clyde bustled with shipbuilding but by the 80s the River was silent. So I began to draw the archaeology of a dying industrial landscape @scottishgallery #fromtheforesttotheforge 30 Oct-22 Nov
