Anthropocene Mountain - Framed by Tom Rossiter: September 18, 2020

Heavy clouds roll in over the towers, their undersides lit pink as if embarrassed by the forecast.

September 18, 2020 is a framed work by Tom Rossiter from the Anthropocene Mountain series, made around 2020 and set in a cedar frame. At sunset, low light often catches the undersides of storm clouds, tinting them pink and red while their tops stay gray. Here dark billows crowd a pale sky above the Chicago skyline, with a thin band of rose at the horizon. The towers repeat upside down below, fading into a smooth lavender-blue. The blackened cedar frame is deeply crackled. It is 16 inches wide and 16 high.

Weather, held in reserve for the time being.
