Thank you so very much for such wonderful comments :) I try to find the "soul" or the story these abandoned buildings are telling us from the past, the love & community they have shared.

Again Thank you!

Curator’s Comments:

 

By the Light is a captivating image, in its presentation of sharply focused economic form. The simplicity of shape and slight asymmetry within the arched doorway is both visually engaging and unexpected.  I appreciate the textural contrast along with the dramatic shifts in value within the enclosed space.  The slightly elongated format of the picture also heightens the theatrical sense of natural light isolated within the circular frame, while the lines of the exterior façade further break up the composition.  It may be too obvious for me to point out the light within an abandoned church hints at a supernatural presence within.  But the image of the whole Mayville structure (IOOF Mayville) also suggests a mystical light in its isolation.  At first I thought the side of the building might be solarized, as the shifts in value appear to fluctuate between positive and negative tones.  The light grass underneath suspends the weight of the building and helps it connect with the landscape in the background. It’s interesting how your picture captures qualities that might otherwise be overlooked in full color.
