This photobook by Nathan Pearce was created after moving back home to the small town of Fairfield, Illinois in his mid twenties. Midwest Dirt explores the tension between home and away through black and white photographs of Pearce’s American midwestern surroundings – the people, places animals and landscapes he has known for his entire life.
