Paul Newton’s ‘Winter Church Series 1-4’ examines rural churches across Saskatchewan’s winter prairies as markers of faith, endurance, and change. Set within vast, stripped landscapes, the structures reflect both care and abandonment, holding traces of the communities that built them. The work focuses on architectural presence alongside emotional and historical weight, highlighting tensions between resilience and fragility, permanence and disappearance. As an Edge of Humanity Magazine contributor, Newton presents a quiet study of place shaped by time and memory.
