On Basswood
A depot at the edge of town, a steam locomotive pulling in, a ladder leaning against the eave — this train station is a moment frozen just before everything changes. Grady Summers understands that the most powerful scenes are the ones caught in between — the arrival, the departure, the pause on the platform. The warm pine of the basswood gives this piece a golden light, as if the sun itself is low on the horizon and the day is just beginning.
