Monolith

   Horizon tower
Ancient grain temple
Hollow concrete monument

S tructures that originally were designed as functional can become monuments by virtue of their age, size, or historical significance. Durable yet seemingly abandoned, this building dominates the Warrensburg skyline. Yet it is familiar to the level of invisibility, in that it is ignored. I find it interesting, and plan to develop a series of images over time and under different conditions that will feature it.

“The places we have known do not belong only to the world of space on which we map them for our convenience. None of them was ever more than a thin slice, held between the contiguous impressions that composed our life at that time; the memory of a particular image is but regret for a particular moment; and houses, roads, avenues, are as fugitive, alas, as the years.” -Marcel Proust
