I made this image in a home frozen in time. Climbing to the top of it stairwell, I shot down through a maze of hand carved wood surrounding three embroidered pillows resting upon a wooden bench. Those who lived in this self contained spartan community made everything by hand in their own factories and shops on the grounds. The ghostly rhythmic flow of stairs and railings that bore through this image reminds us of those who once lived and worked here. My high vantage point creates that flow and rhythm that speaks of the Victorian age.
