Just Passing Through

This work highlights the embedded history held in architecture and landscapes. In these seemingly ordinary spaces, monumental moments of loss in popular music occurred. These places have become sites of pilgrimage where fans can pay tribute to musical heroes. This provides a kind of intimacy of investment knowing the fan has traveled to such a spot and shared the same environment once inhabited by the one they admire. On the other hand, some of the stories of the photographed spaces have been absorbed into the woodwork and landscape through the passage of time and the changing of cultural tastes.
