Item Description

Photography on aluminum

30" x 20" x .5"

Rebecca Skinner feels that photographing abandoned sites tell a story and document the passage of time. They are places that have been forgotten and left behind for nature to take over. You can hear only sounds of your footsteps, water dripping, the wind. You can smell the age, the mold, the moss. You try not to leave footprints. You don’t want to ruin the appearance of desolation. You want to leave the place as you found it. Move nothing, change nothing. There is beauty in these places. There is history. A freezing of time.

Rebecca Skinner’s “Stairway” was photographed at an abandoned asylum and is part of her “Forgotten” series raising mental health awareness. The photo with a satin finish is infused directly into metal making it waterproof and easy to clean. This frameless metal print hangs easily with wire and the artist’s signature is located on the back. Skinner's work has been recently featured on Upworthy and has been exhibited widely.
