Through the Diamond Window
Exhibition Statement:
Through the Diamond Window invites the viewer to peek behind the ramshackle plywood barrier and witness the world in production. With this series of images, Beacon based photographer Tom Stringer reflects on three years spent working on commercial construction sites, where he witnessed the beauty and strength of the collective. The photos celebrate the comradery of the work site. Teams arriving with only their purpose in mind are inevitably weaved into a web of trust. The chaotic fabrication always boils down to a meticulously cohesive design greater than the sum of its parts. Everyday people erecting towers that touch the sky.
