He said, “Next: Corwith Barns… The barns are no longer there, but I’ve photographed them many times, and I’m doing a great painting that hopefully captures every broken board in that fading structure.”
Stern later expressed that he was viewing the project as a way to reconnect with his late father.
“I’m not sure how old those barns were, but I feel like painting the barns is honoring him and everyone who gets old and then goes away,” he said.
According to Distractify, Ben’s cause of death has yet to be revealed to the public.
