'disassembly' by canadian photographer todd mclellan is a series of images capturing old relics
of our past in its dismantled form. including items such as a typewriter, push lawn mower and
a rotary phone, the collection delineates the astounding intricacies and craft of these mechanical objects.
every piece and component are positioned in an almost obsessive-compulsive arrangement - by type,
size, function - resulting in a clear portrait of an era that we have seemingly left behind.
