The ‘snap-shot’. It captures a moment. Attempts to make a permanent places, people, events etc. The work in this series captures places that have long been abandoned, that were in a sense never permanent. Their abandoned state reminds us of our own impermanence. The images capture a moment of abandonment and decay or in some cases abandoned yet we have chose to preserve. They recollect a time when these places and structures were of importance, functioning with a purpose. Today these remnants remind us of our past, of our imprint on the land and environment. There is a reminiscence quality that tugs at us to recall our past. Aa time that we often think was easier, simpler world. Whether that is accurate or not, it is the sense that is brought to mind when we see these structures.
