Steel Mill Staff Frige - Limited Edition of 20 Photograph

Various sizes available on request. Abandoned buildings are time capsules offering glimpses of history, artifacts, and insights to private worlds, along with gorgeous textures, colours, shapes, and dramatic lighting. My hope is that viewers are drawn in by the image, to wonder about the story behind it, and think about the history of industry in our culture and the world. I think people might be surprised at the colours and textures of a decaying building and wonder about the stories it must hold. Where is this fridge located? How many years has it sat there with the radio and spray can sitting on top? Who used this fridge? This fridge sat in the staff room of a steel mill in North America. It was once the largest steel mill in the world but closed in the early 1980’s when it could no longer compete with foreign mills and automated mini-mills. The building was erected in 1901 before elevators were common. Many people used this fridge to keep lunches and dinners cool. Did one of the staff bring the radio, or was it paid for by the company? I wonder what they talked about as they took their breaks together in the staff room. Photography has been a passion of mine since age 7 when a neighbour gave me an old Brownie pinhole camera. I continue to love the magic and beauty of the world seen through a lens. I aim to capture the atmosphere, feelings, and beauty of a place in a way that is both realistic and personal – being a true record of the place yet full of feeling and atmosphere.
