About the Item

Lauren Davis project titled "Industry Unraveled” presents images of abandoned Rust Belt manufacturing locations produced via a cell phone camera and digital processes derived from the affordable immediacy of Walmart and web-based commerce. Davis’s working process involves uploading digital files to Walmart’s website where the photographs are processed into woven versions of her images. She subsequently deconstructs the photographic weavings by pulling threads from the image and often incorporates other processes such as over-dying, bleaching and manual collage using a sewing machine. The connection between the object-like image of an abandoned factory and the Walmart weaving process, underscores the shift from bricks and mortar labor to the global internet-based economy. This seismic shift has impacted nearly everything from manufacturing, economics, politics, the landscape and environmental issues to education, social structure and community life.
