cleave — constructions and fractures

four studies for
the thames gateway

1—
alite, belite
& clinker

a ceaseless interplay between progress and decline, an eerie ballad of creation and collapse.

2—
estury
& asphalt

the Thames a reflective ribbon, the asphalt tower, piers reach out with splintered fingers.

3—
variations of water and the refinery

the crafting of a melancholic landscape, dormant pools and the transformation of cane.

4—
dunes,
tidal halt

a barrier’s hum, sporadic clangor within the river’s drift, aggregates form, a jagged wharf stands.
