Deterioration

Deterioration captures the decaying beauty of a barn in Rockland, Pennsylvania. As you drive past dilapidated barns in rural Pennsylvania, it’s hard to imagine the livelihood that once encapsulated the structure. Like the barn, all structures and centers of livelihood will inevitably deteriorate.

The Grand Carousel

graphite on paper (2024)
