| The facts and figures of
downsizing in the United States reflect a social landscape of deindustrialization. Michael
Jacobson-Hardy has photographed many New England factories that have subsequently closed
down. Gallery 1 displays some of his portraits of the workers who once produced the stuff
of our everyday lives--paper, brushes, and cloth. Galleries 2 and 3 include some related
images of schools and prisons.
