Description

This exhibition highlights Christopher Payne’s detailed photography of America’s factories that he created as part of a decade-long project. Seventy large-format photos capture the craftsmanship behind the creation of musical instruments, sneakers, high-speed trains, flags, footballs and pinball machines, as well as hand processes still critical to creating the most advanced products, from microchips to the Giant Magellan Telescope.
