Finally, after a two year absence, the Artwork at the Brewery returned. At the entrance they gave us wristbands and a mask. I declined the mask, I also declined to enter any studio that asked for one. Only two did (I didn’t go to every studio, but I got to many of them). I’d say a third of the artists weren’t wearing masks, most of the public were.
Pretty amazing image of the smokestack. Those clouds change everything.
A different kind of chimney. It looks like a pizza oven. Here is a good article about the history of the Brewery as well as the Power plant on the premises. Covid lockdowns did a real number on the artist colony. Having the artwork again is huge
, although I think the artists are changing.
The Paradox Iron works is in the original John Parkinson designed power plant. I’m not clear when the iron works moved here, since it says the business is from 1894 and this building was only built in 1907. Inside the power plant is a climbing wall gym – that is a much newer business.
Among the old industrial buildings, there is a lot of greenery.
here someone is growing a lot of flowers.
Succulents are more common. I like the bags as flowerpot motif.
This looks like a monster eating a small prey. It is actually the same plants. As the plant got old and decayed, it simply sprouted a new branch. Its the angle that makes it look this way – as well as my ability to see it in a fairy tale light.
