Artwork Description

The Factory

0.0 x 0.0

48" high x 24" wide mixed media "The Factory" and "The Site" - Were once bustling places, full of men and women working at a furious pace. Then hard economic times hit, and now they are shuttered. Closed tight. No more. Where are all the people? Where is the noise of machinery humming, voices yelling above the sounds of heavy equipment and all the other signs of life at the factory? All gone. The surrounding town is completely depressed. Half her citizens have left to look for work and the other half are too old or too young to leave. Eventually the town will become a ghost town, but right now it's still struggling along at a death's pace. "The Factory" and "The Site" represent all that is left of a past that was full of hope and promise. They now stand as tribute to the greed that exists in the economic world whose "near-death" depressions ruin many lives, many towns, many "factories".
