“Driving out of town,
as landscapes blur by,
fond memories
of childhood visits to a family farm:
the barn, the land, the grass,
the space,
timeless slowness,
come together in my mind.
A quiet stillness
lingers.”
– Peter
In the Field Work series, Peter Dušek presents photographs of rural architecture—barns, silos, and country buildings—in the Ontario countryside.
The images divide each composition into distinct colour fields and shapes, distilling complex landscapes into bold, elemental planes.
These colour fields serve as both literal divisions and structural frameworks. Rich reds of painted barns contrast with snow-covered roofs that blend into winter skies, while soft twilight blues merge with drifts of snow.
Through reduction and abstraction, the photographs examine the relationship between human structures and the land they occupy, revealing patterns of endurance, adaptation, and coexistence.
