Monoliths

I became fascinated with these icons of agriculture while working on a series of abstract industrial imagery. Each structure has their own unique personality, and their tall, boxy form with a smaller top often appear anthropomorphized, like simulacra of humans. Ungainly, rigid, cute, stately, officious, however they seem, they wear their use well. For someone raised in East Coast suburbia, I'm completely enchanted by the agricultural engine of the West. The spaces, the openness (or is it loneliness?), built with humble materials and just the bare bones efficiency of it all. Vernacular architecture on a grand scale, what’s not to love?
