A large number of my works center on this theme. Two solo exhibits at Po Gallery, 1993 and 1997 focus on the subject of neglected and demolished factories. In my lifetime, I observed once humming manufacturing plants become silent and grow into disrepair as corporations outsources jobs, following cheap labor, first to the South and eventually beyond our borders. I’ve included some figurative work as these forlorn characters could represent displaced workers. All dressed up, and nowhere to go.
