I want to dedicate this piece to my coworker Diane Jones who worked in the fabric mills for most of her life here in North Carolina. I wanted this to be a tribute to those worked in this once proud industry, now fading from the map. I wanted to capture the sense of lives lost in the bankruptcy shuffle, of memories built up in houses and towns now left empty, of those towns being left behind in the train ride of progress. It really hangs on the use of the imagery more than anything else. estory
