In the book, The Dirt Meridian, Toby Jurioc quotes Frank Gohlke, master of the Texas landscape, writing about his own images of grain elevators. “I was frustrated by the discrepancy between the ordinariness of the facts surrounding the grain elevators and the intensity of my emotional responses to the objects themselves. …. The dignity of grain elevators, the precision, intelligence and grace of their formal language, their majestic presence within the landscape all seem to confirm the faith that, given the right circumstances, we will make visible the best that is within us”.
