Prairie Gothic

George Webber's poignant black and white photographs transport us into the forgotten, unknowable communities of the Canadian prairies. Throughout the journey we're confronted by the mysterious particulars of life, death, landscape and faith. Intimate portraits and the hard facts of the place are woven together to create a body of work that is by turns inspiring, consoling and sometimes achingly sad. Individually these works startle and challenge. As a collection they represent a photographer's decades long meditation on the ever-changing face of the Canadian west.
