These limited edition fine art prints are signed and numbered on acid free rag paper using archival inks rated to resist fading for 100 years under recommended display conditions.
This image was inspired from a black and white photograph I took in 1982 a few short years before the mill was demolished. The Eliza furnaces of Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation was in operation from 1895 until 1979. The mills presence along the stretch of the Monongahela River had a profound impact in my memory of growing up in Pittsburgh. U.S Steel’s South Side Works is across the river and new skyscrapers rise in the background during Pittsburgh’s Renaissance, beckoning a new chapter in the city’s history.
I remember sitting in the back seat of my parents car as we drove past the mills at night along the Parkway East. The night sky would be lit up by the flames shooting out from the smokestacks. I interpreted the image from black and white to color making the rivers a gold color. This represents the wealth that the rivers brought the city of Pittsburgh to flouish and grow in teh industrial era.
