More Providence real-estate and politics than you can shake a stick at over on Greater City PVD
j hogue ::
J had the concept for Art In Ruins late 2001, and upon talking
with these other fine people, the idea evolved. The project takes
up most of his free time, but so far, he loves it. J is a graphic
designer by trade in Providence with a company called Highchair
designhaus. He has always had a fascination for mill buildings
and decaying structures, and likes to think of himself as a hobby
photographer and letterpress printer. He continues to work and
add to A.I.R. whenever he has a spare weekend to go out and take
some photos.

Sculptor and art-car enthusiast, you can see her turquoise teat-covered
Art Car around town and on Thayer street. When you see it, be
sure to yell "Barnacles!" Sarah originally hails from
North Carolina, when she photographed decaying structures in high
school. Now, she builds homes for gnomes and uses found materials
for her art projects.

Tucker: Michael “Tucker” Terzian is a large format photographer. With help from Brad from i.o. labs (and the Butcherings fame), Tucker’s 8 x 10" negatives have come to life here. We hope to get more of them, and might even devote a whole gallery to his collection someday.
