Michael Kenna first began photographing the Ratcliffe power station in the early 1980s, and over several years he returned to the site many times, producing a body of work as ominous as it is beautiful. The pictures take on the tonal quality of a partially lit ecosphere unique to the artist and his subject: a brilliant handler of half-light, his grainy, spatial topography epitomises the grey skies of northern England.
