Outer Kinds of Structures
A dusty path just recognizable among the shrubs and tumbleweeds dotting the foothills of the mountain range provides just enough room to guide a horse. The desert path, coming in and out of view, winds its way over and between these hills making its way somewhere, meandering as it goes. The path eventually leads to a place, in this case to a long-stripped valley, which appears below the foothills. A small town appears along this valley, its buildings showing enough affinity for each other to provide the town with a barely monumental presence in the otherwise desolate environment. The path moves past the town’s sign announcing its city limit, but as the rider approaches the entrance of the town the path begins to fade into a street-like landscape. Facing buildings provide the only structure needed for defining the street, which would otherwise just be a dusty, shrubby, rattlesnake-ridden and infinitely expanding ground plane. There is no structure known as infrastructure here and if there is, it happens automatically, as a casual yet legible by-product, never conditioning yet always being conditioned.
