Artist's Comments

The old Don Valley Brickworks in Toronto. In 1882 a man named William Taylor and an assistant were drilling postholes for a fence when they noticed the clay's potential for brickmaking. Taylor, along with his brothers John and George, started making bricks in 1889, and had a full scale industrial operation by 1891. The setup continued until the 1980s when the clay began to run out, and most of the massive quarry was filled in anticipation of a housing development. Luckily for us, the Toronto Region Conservation Authority bought the site in 1987, and regeneration of the site began in 1994. It was opened to the public three years later, with a naturalization process fully underway.

Shot inside the main building (where you aren't supposed to go), though had to go due to the presence of a homeless dude of unknown character...
