Inspired by the physical, industrial and symbolic character of the Port of Newcastle and its harbour, James Rhodes primarily concerns his conceptual development with the changing uses of the harbour as juxtaposed with the harbours natural beauty and traditional usage. Through this process, he speculates on the harbours possible future and examines its impact.
Rhodes plays with the visual qualities of the harbour while exploring how they are conceptually experienced by the audience. Through the use of an industrial orange juxtaposed against a stark white backdrop and the surface of the harbour, Rhodes is able to explore the harbours symbolism and its history.
