Throughout history, human beings have adapted their environment by designing and creating spaces for many different uses. Over time, they are often vacated quickly when they are no longer needed. These buildings may sit idle or empty for years or decades when they outlive their usefulness. This triggers a long process of deterioration, which starts slowly. With continued exposure to the elements, the decay can accelerate. It can also be brought to an end if the building is restored or demolished. The textures of decay are beautiful, beginning with peeling paint, and progressing to damaged plaster, bricks and wood, along with signs of reclamation by nature. I find it fascinating to explore these structures and document their state at a single point in time, as they are always changing. I hope you enjoy browsing the galleries of the locations I have visited.
