Biography
I live near the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, New York and have spent many hours photographing the old industrial buildings and related structures along the canal. My interest in this group of prints was capturing the shapes and patterns and the decline and weathering of the structures as they are continually repurposed, whether for reuse or as a canvas for graffiti. I took the photos on my iPhone and separated them by color in Photoshop to create the screens for these prints. The subject matter has personal significance for me because I spent the early years of my childhood in the rust belt states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Ohio and witnessed firsthand the industrial decline and environmental degradation in those areas. The Brooklyn history around these buildings is equally fascinating and I've included photos and stories about it on my instagram page @gowanuslink.
