Unfortunately, this graphic really didn't work as a 1" x 10" strip. It's impossible to interpret what you're looking at without some prior knowledge. But purely as a work it art it's actually kinda interesting. I especially like the jagged texture of the razor wire.
But I didn't want to give up on the subject, so I reframed it:
Then it became too figurative, and I felt the need to embellish it for no good reason:
To make it even crazier I printed the outline drawing six times and worked on different shading treatments for each one. I won't inflict those on on any readers just yet.
Anyway, there are a number of these silos near downtown Chicago. Difficult to tell if they're still operable. Most of these are now surrounded by residential conversions.
