Tippings Industrial Park,(demolished 1985)

This is where my art journey began. The Cotton mills, rows of terraced houses, corner shops and more, were demolished on a massive scale. The heart of many communities, ripped out without a second thought. Unemployment rose to 3.5 million. I had such little time to capture those memories. Memories etched in B&W ink pen to reflect that moment. Like a negative photo, I remember those times...

Comment by Richard Hall on June 28, 2012 at 20:00: Hi Patricia. The drawings were created with a fine mapping pen, taking up to 10 hours for the most detailed ones. I wanted to capture all the depth, atmoshere and realism of the subject. As my confidence increased, I started using colour so my work became less focused on the intensity, and more on the colour theme. Glad you like.
