Photography David Bennett<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As I mentioned previously, my research has caused me to revisit in detail the Residency I undertook at Magnesium Elektron (MEL) 2001-3, a magnesium-processing factory in Salford, Greater Manchester, especially how I interacted with, and involved the workforce in the production of artworks, and what they, and I , got from the experience. I basically set up studio in an abandoned workshop within one of the main factory buildings and continued my work exactly as I would in my permanent studio, without compromise. My thinking was to make the whole creative process transparent and available to anyone from management to shop floor workers , and I slowly established good working relations with a large number of individuals. It was about a mutual respect for each others professions, expertise, skills and specialist knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly all the photographs of my work over the years have been taken by excellent photographer David Bennett, known for his &#8220;5 a day&#8221; Project, taking 5 photos a day for 1 year and assembling them into a book which is an extraordinary document of his life and the environment in which he lives on an urban\/rural interface.
