Allyson says: With a stately presence that belies its industrial function, this staircase stands alone, an old FedEx box its only companion. A single light brightens this otherwise dark space, casting shadows
that dance across the walls. There is something compelling and beautiful about this staircase, this cavernous space, those pieces of machinery, out of view, that work quietly in the background. Two years later, the emotional pull and the desire to photograph these objects is as strong as ever.
