Empty rooms, empty walls
Empty buildings, empty halls

Empty spaces, deserted buildings, old machinery, a chair left behind in a vacated house, a bath-tub, an old lime quarry, silos, textures, polyester curtains, pealing paint, vacant factories, a reminder of manual labour now replaced by technology, the imagined energy as men and women had vision and creative purpose, and then closure: a slow dismantling inhabited now by a haunting beauty, memories, structures that still stand proudly defying progress until the very last breath.
