EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies, commissioned by Historic England, transports us to the late 20th century modernism industrial architecture of Littlebrook D Power Station in Dartford, Kent. The focus lies on three porthole windows adorning the side of the power station's control room, creating a striking visual contrast against its coal and oil-fired backdrop. The composition is an abstract masterpiece that captures the essence of this iconic power station. The round windows stand out boldly with their vibrant red and white colors, resembling buttons on a futuristic control panel. Each window seems to tell a story of its own through an intricate arrangement of dots that form mesmerizing patterns. Davies' keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate the beauty within this often-overlooked aspect of industrial architecture. Through his lens, he transforms these functional elements into objects of aesthetic intrigue and curiosity. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded not only of the power station's historical significance but also its role as a symbol of progress and innovation in our society. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit towards harnessing energy for societal advancement. James O. Davies has masterfully captured both the physicality and abstract qualities present in these porthole windows, inviting viewers to contemplate their purpose while appreciating their artistic allure.
