When History Flowers – The Arms Plant

While making prints of photographs from a recent assignment at the Colt building, I started noticing patterns and symbols created when a print was set adjacent to itself and rotated.

Considering the Colt’s dense history as an arms plant and its fragile reemergence as an art and residential complex, these arrangements presented an interesting photographic path for considering the Colt’s past and potential.

    this needs to be mounted and placed where it belongs: the walls of a well-attended gallery.
