Anthropocene Mountain - November Moon - Framed by Tom Rossiter

The moon has slipped into the top corner, content to watch the skyline show off.

November Moon is a framed work from Tom Rossiter's Anthropocene Mountain series, made around 2020, framed in cedar. In North American folk tradition, the November full moon is often called the Beaver Moon. A bright moon flares in the upper left of a deep blue night sky, its rays fanning toward the city. The Chicago skyline glitters along a low dark strip of trees, and its lights repeat in a still, violet reflection below. The charred cedar frame has a crackled surface. It is 16 inches wide and 16 high.

A cold night, and nobody seems to mind.
