Through the Window (Photograph, 2023)
16 Roches St, built in 1839, functioned as a corn store and office space for over 100 years. It was also a dairy – machinery assembly plant and an electrical goods store. It is now home to Lumen Street Theatre. Through the Window responds to a space, seen through the lens of a once thriving industrial city.
