Fading Icons, Dissolution
David A. Sear artwork
This pair of images was the beginning of a series based on a farm along Hwy 41 near Wrightstown, WI. The view offers a vista of fields, stands of woods, and atmospheric light that always seems to be dramatically new to me each time I pass by. It also offers a trio of older silos and several older farmsteads that I use as a metaphor for the fading nature of the “century farm.”
