Little Skull Arts by Stephanie Siwek

Placidus Temple - Photography Fine Art Gallery


A series of haunting photographs depicting the emotions and echoes of schooldays forgot in the decaying skeleton of an abandoned school. From the ivy that acts as nature's mouth to swallow the reminents of the building to the aging football that was left behind, these images strive to awaken the memories of the classroom and bring to life once more a childhood forgot. For more info on this collection, see Artist Commentary below.

Artist's Commentary
I think its fair to say that school days provoke a response in all of us. Be it the best or worst days of your life, everyone has a story to tell of their experiences. But what if those experiences were not recorded, and one only could make use of the spiritual imprint left in the walls and corridors of an abandoned school to go on? Schools, I find, like hospitals and asylums, harbour this imprint as memories of such surging emotions tend to linger, in my opinion, within the walls of the buildings the occured in. Upon enetering such a sight it is possible to imagine for a second laughter and footsteps down a back corridor or the blood-curdling screech of the school bell which now lies useless and rusting on the school floor. For this reason I was delighted to come acroos this little abandoned treasure and have the good fortune to photograph these emotions as a visual recording of whats left behind after the children have grown and the faculty have long since retired. What then?
