Description

Ruins Poems and Paintings of a Vanishing America explores the remnants of America's industrial past. Anna Audette's paintings depict abandoned factories, ships, bridges, and large machines, alongside smaller artifacts like discarded railroad couplings and machine tools. In contrast, Suzanne Nothnagle's poems focus on the lives of the men and women who built and used these engines and devices in workshops that have been abandoned. Her work is lyrical and harsh, short and to the point, with a knowing and critical tone that complements Audette's canvases. Through their collaborative project, both artists seek to memorialize the recent industrial past of America, as worker and machine fall into oblivion and the present rushes forward.
