image commentary: fly here - when tractors and trucks talk in the bush
Fly Here
"One day all of the farm vehicles gathered. In the shadow of Bush's war, 911, and the Towers, New Yorkers retreated up our country way, where many hoped to survive with us locals in the bushes."
Here in the bushes, the harsh weather and deprived economies allow junk to survive in view.
Hulks of abandoned metal, scattered across the country - they're the gentle reminders of our grace and mortality. Up here in our country, the tension of 21st century life activates local discussions of the end of the world, but everyday survival still demands our time.
The photographed machines are our own local relics collected and revitalized. The beauty of metal monsters exists in their sculpted expressions, human like in their daily watch of time.
Pictured are: two late 1940's International Trucks, one is a farmers long bed pick up, the other a Sunoco Gas Station Tow Truck, and a 1954 Minneapolis Moline front end loader with rear shaft drive.
