Leonardo Liguori “From the moment I first breached the outer-protective walls of the complex known as the Lace Mill, I was enthralled by her mystery, her shadows, sounds and even her smells. With and without assistants and models, I crawled, climbed, jumped and dangled through, over, under, around and in between her countless catacombs, broken stairwells, busted walls, river-strewn floors, and skeleton roofs.”
