The Recreation Of whitespace:
An Exercise In Distillation
The bricks of this residential outbuilding were placed in 1893. The walls have pencil scrawlings from 1904 and 1908, noting ‘safety tires’ and ‘speedometer’ adjustments. The ceiling has aged to a pale brown patina. Divots, cracks, holes, and stains circumscribe every surface from the century of use. After emptying the place, uncovering the windows, and washing the walls, one discovers a pale silver grey coating on the brick.
