The sad news last week of 5000 job losses as British Steel closed was to me another sad consequence of Brexit.
In 2006 I was commissioned by Corus Construction and Industrial, in partnership with Arts & Business Yorkshire and 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, to photograph the Scunthorpe Bloom and Billet Mill, before the two miles of steel production line was moved to India. This was a project I was eager to take on, working in this intense environment, capturing the vast scale of work going on. The over ground plant is mirrored by an underworld beneath which I couldn't help but liken to the Ridley Scott movies 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner' (my favourite film and a source of much inspiration).
