The Entrance Gates are inspired and informed by research into the history of the North British Rubber Company (NBRC) factory site. The artist Rachel Duckhouse visited the NBRC archives in Dumfries, and researched printed material from 1920s – 1970s; product catalogues, promotional leaflets, flyers and photos, as well as blueprints of factory floor layouts and machinery diagrams. “The photos and illustrations of workers tending the machines reminded me of printmakers at their printing presses. Calenders were used to flatten the raw material of rubber into sheets using a series of huge rollers. These cylindrical rolling shapes also appear in traditional and contemporary printmaking practice; in printing presses used in intaglio and relief printing.
