239. The Trudging Man.

"To summon the gods at will and take heed of the light that casts no shadow, and thou will walk forever in darkness trudging across the earth in revolt of the capitalists gluttony of society's dance." (Maule 2023)

A brutal analysis using form, frame and texture and a study exploring through creative research the industrial revolution and Lancashire's heritage mill industry.

A work to highlight the plight of the workers and the gluttonous greed from many of the mill owners.
