Forgotten Spaces


Forgotten Spaces

One of my three works in progress, I've been working on a series or three for a few months now. This one is my pride and joy.... so are my other two, but that doesn't matter. Here's a couple shots from it. What I'm going for here is finding composition, and of course beauty in forgotten spaces. I've been finding them all over Wisconsin, as well as Minnesota and every other state I'll be going to for the next few years probably. I've had a particularly large ammount of success in some of the great abandoned factories around milwaukee. Slovoy Coke and Gas, the no longer accessible Pabst Brewery, and an old fertilizer factory in Oak Creek. My series isn't just any old pealing paint urban decay series we've all seen. It's an investigation into the places that were once alive with people, machines, electricity, and energy of life.
