The red stack

The Red Stack. 2020.

A brick chimney rises out of the skyline, pressed hard against a sky that looks ready to open. The storm clouds churn and fold around it, so the stack reads less as infrastructure and more like a watchtower in a half-remembered story. I am drawn to how this simple vertical form can carry so much unease, sitting perfectly still while the weather builds and darkens behind it.
