cathedral of steam
you’ve maybe noticed the odd railway reference on this blog, or the enthusiasm for working on railway-related artwork. another such opportunity pulled into platform 1 recently when we were commissioned to create public artwork as part of the derby city of invention project.
our contribution to a series of 12 works displayed in the city was this image inspired by derby’s railway heritage, and in particular, the world’s first purpose-built roundhouse (a building housing a turntable and circular arranged tracks to fix and house locomotives). you can read more about the project and our musings on the importance and sheer impressiveness of this building on the projects website. original photograph by andrew cowell.
