"In Monument to Industry, painted on a trapezoidal piece of plywood with screws shot through from the back, Bonnet uses the shape of the support to funnel the scene into the crucible, where iron becomes steel, and where a worker in silhouette tests the metal—and tests his mettle in the heat. Yet it is equally possible to see the scene exploding out of the crucible, as if the scene is made and shaped by the reason for the mill’s existence. The mills make steel; steel makes the mills."
