Below are a few of the images that I brought with me for the June 2011 residency. In the weeks prior to residency I made photographs of this former church building and then presented them at AIB with the working title of "Desanctified".
My initial goal was to document as much of the interior before the building is demolished. While I love the effects of the elements and time on abandoned structures, I'm drawn to the images where something has been removed, like the altar on Saint Joseph's side (above). Its ornate sculptural altar was removed leaving only a flat trace behind. This physical record of loss is the direction I'll be pursuing.
