ONCE A RAILROAD

Image/ text magazine, Abridged, has launched issue 0-28. Entitled 'Once A Railroad', it takes as its theme the lost dreams and aspirations of our world. The work below, from a folder of drawings entitled 'Building Pictures', shows a Modernist/ Utopian-type monument, protesters on horseback in Amsterdam during the oil crisis of the early 1970s, and a family in post war West Germany awaiting the completion of their new apartment block. The track below accompanies the image, ideally played whilst looking at Abridged magazine.
