quote [ If it took you this long to identify one of the most epic genres of art history, welcome to the club. We must have skipped class that day. The aesthetic: a lost civilization – its crumbling and vaguely familiar architectural forms dramatically lit by a sunset backdrop, and in the foreground, a congregation of folks are musing amidst the ruins. ]

I live in New England but I like to occasionally go to the west and sketch ruins of industry and agriculture. I think what I like is the promise of opportunity, pioneer industry, and eventual failure. Ultimately, disappearance with no trace.
