Artist statement
After using a large format 4X5 camera and color film for over 30 years, David Husom switched to a high resolution digital camera in 2010. However, his basic working methods and interests have not changed. He is still committed to documenting small towns and the rural Midwest. In particular he is drawn to the vernacular architecture of communities. Husom is currently working on a project documenting Wisconsin Highway 35 from the Illinois border to Lake Superior.
