The products of land liest clearance and crop plantation 110W were brought to the mil for the processing. Industry and Y in power were important needs John even in a pioneer rural setting. grist The place of the miii has Appliances Trade-I ns Accepted on Appfiances - Easy Credit Terms Available - undergone a remarkabil transition in less than 200' years. Today its function bas declined but it bas become a kind of cliche for. both the publi's and the artist's reverence for the heritage and integrity of rural Ontario. Artists' renderings of milis today usually deai oniy with exterior views satisfied perbaps with the deptb of expression in the aged brick or wood framework coverîng the macbinery inside. It is refreshing therefore to study Neil Newton's photographic treatrnent of area milîs and other structures. By taking tbe viewer inside these buildings or depicting their mnillwrights in a work setting among the mill's tools, machinery, or raw material, be has served to make visabie the fulrneaning of the miii. In a sense the artistic depiction of a miii cut off from its function fails to direct the viewer to any understanding beyond the picture itself. There is an interesting paraliel in our daily lives whicb is evidenced in the camouflaging of industrial sites with trees or for that matter the mound of earth surrounding the pianned nuclear plant in Dariingtoa. designer alike fail to involve the public in discussion or understanding about the functions they are hiding. And 50 Newton's uncovering of the everyday industriai operation Df a mill corresponds to the public desire for knowledge about technological change. Newton's message i s communicated through the very people he bas pbotographed in the garage in Flaydon, the generai store in Enniskillen, the Tyrone Miii, ;he Vanstone Mill in Bowmanville, ,and elsewbere. rhe pbdtograpbs whicb can be ;een in the Tyrone Community ,entre express the dignity of work itseif. There is an honest 7eation between the people, ,heir labour, and the energy aieeded to make this workTh e4h possible. h e 4t 1 For that reason it seerns ironie that what Neil Newton has captured represents in sorne cases a disappearing . way of life. What cornes l across in the photographs is that this lifestyle makes a certain arnount of sense. It is - ~ - flot a romantic existence. - <'r . - Power is needed to drive a , rnill's machînery be it the water of the l9th century or the electricity of today. Hard work is needed to put thiÎs energy to use. Creativity is required to ensure this work can respond to change. In one sense the artist who uses the miii merely to say something about rural Ontario or the industrial designer who hides present technologyà behind trees is rnissing the awareness of larger issues...... such as the meaning of work and the question of where tornorrow's energy is going to corne frorn. In some perhaps unperceived way the photography of Neil Newton deals with these very issues. Through his scenes hie has shown some real answers l the very people hie bas photographed. Jr .
