Georgia's Vanishing Rural Culture

27 years ago, just after I moved to Georgia, I noticed that many of the rural farmhouses and barns were in great disrepair. It wasn't long before many of these structures collapsed and were lost from the landscape forever. I felt a calling to document these old rural structures before the landscape changed forever. This little video is an initial attempt to show, in art, these structures as well as the animals that inhabit the land. Eventually I plan to do a more comprehensive video with photos, paintings and dialog. I hope that you enjoy this presentation.
