The idea behind the panoramic view of the Runcorn Chemical Works is to remind
ourselves that we are collectively
responsible for our environment and that these chemical plants are a direct
product of our shopping habits
and of our consumer age.
The Runcorn Chemical Works produces a variety of materials which most of us
purchase and consume regularly.
John Davies is internationally known for his landscape photography and his
work often explores the changes
and development of the industrial and urban environment through a documentary
narrative.
He has exhibited and published his work widely, including the V&A in London,
MOMA in New York and the
Pompidou Centre in Paris.
