About this objectThis print is part of a series designed by James Giddins as part of the 'Art in Industry' year of 1986. The project was nationwide and attempted to change attitudes, knowledge, and awareness of industry, prompted by the UK being ranked below other nations in the major industrial league. On a local level, Unilever provided resources to three artists, Christine Kowal Post, Christine Leadbetter, and Giddins, to create artworks related to their factories and to run workshops for local students, with work to be displayed in an exhibition at the Williamson.
Giddins was given access to PPF International, a factory used to make food flavourings. This print shows two staff (one presumably in training), who were testing the intensity of the ingredients being made at the factory. The work itself is compositionally interesting, with the perspective taken as if from a wide angle lens.
