The images in this book are the culmination of a fifteen year fascination with the distressed beauty of the haunting scarecrow sentinels found in Eastern European fields. I have traveled to the less populated and accessible areas of Slovakia, Poland, Romania and Hungary to find traditional scarecrows. In these remote villages time flows a little slower. Farm work is still done by hand, horse drawn carts transport hay and crops, and the lifestyle reflects the tradition of previous generations. The scarecrows are representatives of the faded and fading places, overlooked customs, and crafts that tenuously adhere in the swiftly changing Mittle European cultural identity. 108 pages, 51 photographs.
