In contribution to the RE Drift online exhibition three temporary site-specific artworks were created by Irene Rogan and photographed by Phillip Green. The artworks were all produced in response to the experience of place; specifically the intellectual and emotional engagement with Hodbarrow a site formerly dominated by industrial iron ore extraction and situated near the town of Millom in South West Cumbria. The ironworks closed during the 1960 and following the removal of all the buildings and machinery the site has largely been reclaimed by nature.  It is now the location of an RSPB sanctuary and nature reserve.

The first series of images ‘Bloody Crane’s-bill‘ drew inspiration from a work by the Millom poet Norman Nicholson. The work examines the tracery of former industry and land use as it is interwoven into and amongst the now restorative vegetation.
