"Climb the narrow stair and the temperature shifts. The upstairs rooms carry the post‑industrial works, where cloth and labor and the afterlife of factories provide the ground. In Weaver with Plant, a solitary figure faces a vast, idle loom in a decayed mill. The gown reads like unspooled fiber. Dust holds the light. The machine occupies most of the frame. The imbalance is deliberate. The photograph honors the scale of industry and refuses to lose the human scale within it. Attention becomes a kind of work." - Jorge R. G. Sagastume.
