Dark and Foreboding Skies

Mashburn has a whole sequence of work that hubs around the overgrowth of towns, industry, and built-up populations. His foreboding scenes look like they could be from a post-apocalyptic world. Like the seductive draw of an epic catastrophe, he travels this route in the direction of overload in both subject issue and style. Comparing his methodical brushstrokes to to the monotonous methods of mass output, Mashburn observes, 'In the end, they both produce a polluted, drab landscape.' This stubbornness furthermore talks to the self-destructive tendencies of up to date humanity - where the depletion of assets is defended, and commemorated, as a staple of 'freedom."
