Artist, American, born 1953

This is a photograph of a model of a building. The image shows a large, monochromatic architectural structure with a simple, detailed design. The building is tall and rectangular with small square windows in a grid pattern, a gabled roof, and chimney-like elements. The lighting creates shadows on the white surface, giving a moody atmosphere. Next to the main structure, a lower wall with barbed wire adds to a sense of enclosure or security. The background is dark, emphasizing the symmetry and balance of the structure.
