November

"November" was conceived in the late summer, and executed that summer and fall, leading up to its completion, mid-November, 2024. That point in time matters, for reasons that extend beyond the frame containing this fissure. Still, the gap captures its force. Processes used to create the image participate in its meaning, through space and over time. Sections of the fence affixed to silver remain relatively vivid, while iron tiles rust to indeterminacy. The final layer of cyanotype images were toned using a strong tannic acid solution. In sunlight, those tiles fade more rapidly, slowly destroying the façade until the structure loses its form. This may take a year, or, in darkness, a decade. But all fences fall.
