The 20th-century barn is the heart and soul of any farm, yet these iconic structures are rapidly disappearing from the rural landscape. Most of them have become obsolete and are being replaced by modern buildings. Chris understands the importance of preserving these majestic buildings, not only through photographs but also through artistic expression. His ability to capture the true essence of these barns allows viewers to appreciate them in a unique way. This piece has appropriately been named "Perseverance"  as many of these barns have weathered the elements over the decades, but it won't be long before they are all gone.
