In this delicate watercolour, Pemba sets the shrub-filled foreground against the industrial structures of the New Brighton cement works. The contrast between vegetation and factory buildings creates a quiet disjuncture between nature and industry, while reflecting the artist’s attentive eye for the tensions embedded in everyday urban and industrial landscapes.
