Devolution

Since the age of industrialization our environment has begun to shape and be shaped by the marketplace and the consumer. Our landscapes  echoed the efficiency and evolution of the assembly line of capitalism as the 19th and 20th centuries turned. When we think of sunsets, our minds edit out the buildings and the telephone lines, but they were there. As we choose to industrialize and technologically “advance,” our society continues to devolve with every machine made widget created. We don’t think about the electric lines,  phone lines, the stop lights and stop signs. But they have become the norm. I refuse to edit them out, and have found a certain aestheticism amongst the power lines that evoke an internal struggle between the evolving self and the defined corporeal citizen of the nation state.
