From inside working steel mills, this work is about mystery, a kind of journey into the underworld of darkness and fire, an exploration to ancient places where transformation happens.

In the Fall of 2005, Terry visited a steel mill in East Chicago that she first became fascinated with during her aerial project about Chicago. As she states, "I wanted to see what these structures contained. The dangerous and thrilling processes of steel production astonished me and I began an intense photographic exploration that has taken me primarily back to the mill at Indiana Harbor, but also to Cleveland, Ohio, Burns Harbor,Indiana and Coatesville, Pennsylvania for more than thirty visits."
