About this artwork

For years barns were wood. Then farmers started using tin-coated panels for barn and sheds about 50 years ago. Tin panels were used to wrap barn frames and create long-lasting protection from the outside element and it seemed that was the end of the old wood barns. Now like the old wood construction, barn tin is being replaced by modern metals and synthetics. Once again, another iconic symbol of the rural farming way of life is disappearing as the old tin ends up in landfills.
