Lance Kinseth, Living City, ink/bristol, 1984
APPEARING TO BE the antithesis of nature, the contemporary city
is perhaps at the vanguard of nature.
Appearing so civil and domestic, the city is so very young in the
history of the Earth. It exists
because of the yields of the grasses, and it has the energy of a wild, young
river. Wearing the mask of a
citadel, the city is fragile. Its
foundations are the grasses and soil and waters and weathers. Residents of culture, yes, and yet like
fish in a river, only vaguely living their residency in Earth and cosmos.
