The Long Low Structure

The Long Low Structure

The Long Low Structure

the long low structure



the water-meadow an outpost the outpost “choose
the new international”



chevrons, and planes are chevrons



on the concrete, stairs on wheels, single-purpose vehicles



offwhites and greys, silvers that will not glint 





                                                                 a change – 
                                                                 of muscle density, the face – 
                                                                 tense – the face was tense, “not exactly 
                                                                 worried”, good 
                                                                 to see you 

                                                                 “and you”
