Artist, American, born 1954

The image shows a deteriorating building in a barren landscape. The roof is partially collapsed, and the walls appear weathered. Empty window frames accentuate the neglect. The horizon is visible, dividing the ground from the sky. The sky is overcast, with thick, grey clouds. Debris and dry grass are scattered nearby. There are isolated tall trees to the left. The black and white color palette enhances the desolate scene.
