The coal trains that cut through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado fascinate me immensely. Long, cold, steel cars wind around mountainsides and begin to become a part of the environment in a sad and destructive sort of way. It's as if the mountains are being slowly and discretely constricted. This project began through photography of my own, from a recent trip to Colorado, and grew into several large charcoal drawings.
