"OR Barns" is a structured, dynamic study of Oregon's agricultural landscape. By utilizing vertical, segmented cuts, this piece layers classic red and black wooden barns against sweeping golden fields and dramatic, shadowed mountain cliffs. The torn edges of the delicate travel magazine paper frame the composition, giving this nostalgic rural vista a distinct, modern edge. It’s a perfect, bite-sized snapshot of the majestic Pacific Northwest.
About the Collection:
During the summer of 2026, I packed up and hit the road, traveling through Sisters, OR, Missoula, MT, and Jackson, WY. 'Tearing Through the West' marks a unique shift in my practice: instead of my usual vintage books, these pieces are built entirely from contemporary travel guides picked up along the way. The modern paper is incredibly thin and delicate, requiring a new level of patience and precision to cut and layer. This collection is a vibrant, tactile diary of tearing through the modern American West.
