03 THE STORY

About this print

This was the final frame taken that day. Quiet, uneasy and edged with tension after a long period of exploring the site alone. An art photography print that captures the pause between exposure and retreat, layered with atmosphere and restraint.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Stalls line both sides of this abandoned toilet block, their doors still mostly in place as debris covers the tiled floor.

Blayney Abattoir ran in the central west of New South Wales from 1957 until its 1998 closure. At peak it employed around sixteen hundred people, one of the largest employers in the region. The site had hosted a butter factory and freezing works since at least 1900.
