A 1:96 scale replica of the former Dixmont State Hospital built for a 2011 art show.

I’m new to the art scene and looking for fellow abandonment enthusiasts to share my work with.  Please share, reblog and/or follow if you’d like to see more abandoned-ized dioramas like the one above!

A work in progress view of the new ‘Dark Ride’ diorama box.  More color and detail will be added soon!

Bauman’s 100 Abandoned Houses project captures both the extent and the variety of Detroit’s depression, in which homes ranging from secluded hovels to lavish, brick and stone mansions sit empty.

The breath of the buried always seeps in, sensing the approach of death in the living, those who are already of their fraternity. No need of art to remind man of the past, a soiled greasy wallpaper sweating will render centuries of melancholia better than a face on a painting. But the painter teaches us to see it.  Their walls give off the sweat and grease of the earth we come from, the dampness of roots and of cemeteries, the moisture of birth, agony and death. There are walls which impede breathing, flying, escape from the earth. The thickness of such walls upon which bodies have left grease, breath, and dampness, is something no destroyers can pull down. When a house is pulled down, it is this stain which will remain, like the stain of blood, and when this stain is removed, stone by stone, layer by layer, there is still the odor in the air, an odor of death.    —-Anais Nin

Unpredicted death.

The recurring house of dreams.

Everyone thinks it would be so cool to work in a giant robot factory. But eventually, everybody hates their job.

This is a great photo.  I love the caption too!
