Artist Statement In 2005, I was living in Rochester, NY. A friend of mine told me about an abandoned subway he had heard about in the city. Curious, we decided to go take a look. As we climbed through the fence and walked down into the old station under one of my favourite restaurants in the city, I was awestruck at how such an incredible structure had been hidden just below my feet all these years.

Every day, most people wander mindlessly through the world around them, barely noticing anything except what they have to. Unbeknownst to them, there is a whole other world around us that has been forgotten by the majority. Each of these hidden gems has its own story that most can’t be bothered to discover, but I soon became fascinated.

Since then, I’ve been traveling to see everything from old gold mines to castle-like asylums. Each one has its own tales to tell, and it’s a shame to have such rich history fade to dust.
