Artist Notes

Grain elevators of this kind were built 70-80 years ago (or more in some cases) to fulfill a specific need. Most every town had at least one, and many of those towns themselves have disappeared. The prairie landscape has changed. While once these were the giants, now newer cement structures rise high into the landscape dwarfing even these. Many have been torn down in the last 15 years. In time, only a few remnants of these giants will be visible on the Prairie.
