Skyward Deco Dance

In her Industrial Captivation series, Ferrari focuses on the industrial scenes found in the Hamilton area. In her own words,

"While not generally perceived as beautiful, the industrial scenes found in Hamilton (Ontario) can be captivating if one takes the time to appreciate the intrinsic beauty as elusive plumes of steam race across the sky, retreating from the mighty monuments of industry.  This collection of paintings aspires to have viewers take a more imaginative look as they mingle the majestic industrial complexes with resplendent colours and lively organic forms.

The Hamilton industrial complex [depicted in Skyward Deco Dance] is as viewed from the Nicola Tesla Boulevard. The volume of steam is usually strikingly proficient, filling the sky with constant uplifting motion. The angled structures, coupled with cylindrical forms capture the imagination and create a feeling that is reminiscent of an art deco theme."
