The Solitude series involves large format photographs of old structures and the landscape. In these images, Cassarino explores the quiet and foreboding atmosphere of buildings that have witnessed past lives and have sometimes now been left empty.
Cassarino has contact printed the work in this series on hand-coated, watercolor paper using the Van Dyke Brown process. The original 4x5" black and white negatives are made with a Wisner 4x5 camera.
