Structures of Utility

Packing sheds, grain silos, wooden tank house outbuildings, and mine elevators have been eloquently captured by David Stark Wilson’s keen, appreciative, and knowledgeable eye. Using a large format view camera, Wilson has elevated these architecturally underappreciated structures of pure utility that dot our rural landscape and given them consequence, meaning, and a haunting beauty.

The text of Structures of Utility is a quiet yet passionate meditation on Wilson’s dedication to “pursue in the natural landscape a reprieve from urban existence.” In both words and pictures, he captures the disquietingly abandoned landscape that is the beating heart of California.
