These photos are a part of a larger series of images exploring the textures and patterns found on one rural homestead in Ashland, Oregon. As the town continues to expand and gentrify, the property is increasingly surrounded by condominiums and housing developments, coffee bars and mini-malls. These signs of affluence stand in contrast to a yard full of rusting farm equipment, forgotten flea market treasures and decaying ford trucks. This series of images is my record of a vanishing piece of the Oregon landscape. No set of photographs can stop the wheels of progress or delay the sweep of gentrification, but perhaps a photograph can preserve some small part of what is, for now, Jack’s place.
