Whilst going through my photographic archives in relation to Bowden and Port Adelaide I came across Mandy Martin's 1980s industrial paintings.

What appealed in this expressionist representation of the industrial world were the strong and highly declarative colours---the bright blues and high oranges against the sombre tones of grey--- structured around the strong geometric forms.
