Gallery space in the old Parsons Hall down in the flats on Dwight Street in Holyoke. This is part of the installation "Reflecting Back" by Chris Nelson: "In an installation created specifically for the Parsons Hall Project Space water drips from the ceiling into a shallow oval reflecting pool (28’ x 10’); while light reflects the waters movement back onto a parallel wall. Water plays an important role in Holyoke, where its canals powered the many paper mills during the late 1800 and early 1900s and still supplies electricity to the city. Today, water is also the main culprit that is destroying these old abandoned buildings, slowly rotting them away from the inside out. Their dark, dank interiors are like giant caverns with the echoing sounds of dripping water. The Parsons Project Space itself was riddled with leaking ceilings and puddles of water before being rescued by its current owners. The pool mirrors the ceiling where the water originates, creating a visual circle, while also mirroring the reflection of itself on the wall." See where this picture was taken. [?]
