These photographs are part of a visual study based on a landscape material known for both its commonality and unappreciated aesthetic. Its existence shapes the paths within and beyond our urban environments. Whether we walk, bike, and/or drive, it gets us to where we want to go conveniently and painlessly. As much as we snarl at its application upon endless acres of developed land, we embrace its qualities of facilitating and improving our everyday lives.
