The Round barn Fence

Perched peacefully for more than a century the iconic Barn became a poignant symbol of community loss after the massive 2017 fire.

Wandering the vacant hillside some months after the fire, I literally stumbled on long sections of the Barn’s original fence laying quietly in the field. Like stumbling onto buried treasure I felt an immediate emotional rush to salvage the fence. It was the only surviving artifact.

I had it custom milled by a professional fine art framer who designed unique individual frames for each piece of artwork. They turned out more amazing than I had imagined and really become part of the art.

The Artwork

As fate would have it I happened be photographing the historic Barn just before it perished. I intended to create artwork showing its original charm, as it was before the modern buildings encroached. 

With that in mind I set out to find a perfect angle. This proved more difficult than I anticipated. 

Set atop the hillside, the big Barn loomed above presenting frustrating artistic angles.

But with persistent hiking l discovered an ideal angle from a most unlikely place.

Perfect angle, straight across! From climbing onto the flat roof of the hotel next door! Goose bumps told me this was “IT”.

Notice the fence! Left side of photo.
