Anthropocene Mountain - Framed by Tom Rossiter: November 15, 2020

The sun drops straight into the middle of the skyline, as if aiming for it.

November 15, 2020 is a framed work from the Anthropocene Mountain series by Tom Rossiter, made around 2020, in a cedar frame. Chicago's skyline seen across the water is among the most photographed city views in America, and this series finds a different mood in it each time. Gold and orange light floods the sky, the sun flaring at the base of the towers beneath dark clouds edged in amber. The skyline stands in silhouette, and its reflection drops into a cool field of blue-gray clouds. The cedar frame is charred and crackled. It is 16 inches wide and 16 high.

Warm on top, cool underneath, much like November itself.
