Eye of industry

Eye of industry. 2019.

This storage tank stops being a piece of infrastructure and starts to feel like an eye. The white surface is etched with rings and streaks of rust that read like an iris and lashes, radiating out in irregular bursts. Around it, pipes and walkways draw a measured square frame, trying to contain all that organic disorder. It is a view of industry at its most abstract, where corrosion, paint and geometry come together as a kind of accidental drawing on the land.
