Renovating an old barn, the artist found weathered planks etched with decades of farm life. They photographed every crack, every water stain, then experimented: dabbing paint on wood, pressing it to canvas, scraping off layers to reveal “history.” The brown base is the barn’s soul, white/black strokes mimic sunlight slicing through gaps. It’s a collaboration between “old wood” and new paint – past and present merging. Perfect for a farmhouse kitchen (echo the barn’s rustic heart) or a maker’s workshop (honor the “hands - on” spirit). Hang it, and let the barn’s silent stories and tactile experimentation infuse your space with timeless warmth.
