Aptly named, this painting was always going to present it's own unique compositional problems having been been executed on a circular canvas. In the end this was not as difficult as it could have been. I chose to focus in on the point where several angular struts intersect with each other. A joining of elements both in the physical building sense and in the sense of different techniques and processes employed in the painting. A union of materials and methods. I have deliberately tried to keep the colour application light and not to overwork the picture keeping it fresh. The image used has originated from a series of photographs I took on location at airbus Broughton, just outside Chester, in North Wales. At that point they were building a giant shed in which to build wings for airbus which was at that point the largest building being constructed in Europe. The A380 wings, which are too large to travel on the fleet of five Beluga aircraft, leave the Broughton factory on a transporter heading for the River Dee. There, they are transferred onboard the Afon Dyfrdwy barge for the 35km journey to Mostyn. It is quite a spectacle.
