Inside a textile mill in Maine, Christopher Payne has captured the surreal juxtaposition of industrial machinery and the technicolor yarns running through it.

Capturing these bright moments required patience however. “There is not much staging allowed because I cannot alter or interrupt the lines of production,” Payne explained. “So I wait, sometimes months, for the right colors to come along, and then a magical moment occurs, if only for a few hours or minutes.”

We’re hoping more textile mills come back to doing production in the U.S. Have you used any American mills to manufacture your work? If so, how was your experience?
