During a 2018 tour through the Upper Peninsula’s Calumet Art Center, I was given a chance to step behind the scenes and take a few pictures of their pipe organ’s hidden architecture. The size and intricacy of the piping struck me as a significant presence of its own, separate from any music it could produce. This image is my attempt to evoke that same sense of awe at the possibility of an animate entity within an inanimate instrument.
