Summary
Abandoned and decaying buildings litter the towns and cities of Southern Michigan, from a massive abandoned paper mill near Kalamazzo to the skeletal remains of the once thriving indistries of Detroit. Rickman's pictures aim to express the sense of wonder and the eerie undertone that comes with exploring places stuck in time. Whether they have been reclaimed by nature, are simply left to decay and crumble, or a destined to be restored by a caretaker of history, these places provide beauty in broken glass, comfort in the quiet stillness of liminal spaces, and history in the skeletons of concrete. -- adapted from back cover
