Where Water Keeps Time

MG-1598

October 2019

About this piece

A timber watermill rises beside a rocky stream, its broad wheel balanced by the strong diagonal of a bridge entering from the left. Pale daylight reveals weathered siding, stone piers, and a fine lattice of woodland branches, while the water takes on a silky blur. The monochrome composition sets flowing movement against the measured geometry of timber and masonry.

The story

On the last day of October, sparse leaves cling to the trees above the mill. Water slips around the foreground stones, its pale ribbons passing beneath the weight of the bridge. The wheel rests dark against weathered boards, each spoke distinct amid the overlapping beams. Between the stream’s soft movement and the firm stonework, the scene holds the quiet of autumn.
