Where clouds are made...

Where clouds are made... explored Didcot A Power station in the last few months of its active life as it approached it’s closure in 2013. This was a commissioned project, jointly funded by Npower and South Oxfordshire Council.

Through the project and exhibition we explored different types of physical and social relationships that people had with the power station over it’s working life. For our exhibition at Cornerstone Arts Centre, Didcot, we made a wooden scaffolding structure referencing part of the pre-fab construction process. It was made to the same scale as one of the cooling towers, but represented a fragment of the whole. The almost imperceptible arc across the gallery floor drew attention to the enormity of the whole and the difficulty of comprehending the scale. Seen through the construction, we made a series of laser-cut wall drawings playing with the 70’s language of dials and switches within the control room.
