Barn Ruins
20 inches x 32 inches

This piece focuses on one of the unique constructions of the old stone barns, the beams that are held up only by the skill with which the stones are placed. The soaring storey above that for the storage of hay and farm equipment rests upon those sturdy beams. Can anyone do this now? Superimposed on the stonework in a sign that warns of the dangers of playing in stone ruins and the county's decision to demolish the old barn. Across the centre of the piece is a plan for a 127 home subdivision, what the dismantling of the great old barn is really about.
