Working Land refers to two facets of rural landscape: the idea of working the land as a vocation and as a description of productive ground. My family tree includes immigrant ancestors who made a living from working the soil and some of their descendants who carry on this work to the present day. That personal connection to working land inspired the project.

Anderson farm, 2015: Keith drew this map from memory while we sat at a picnic table near the house. He said the original orchard plans from a dozen years ago probably still exist somewhere in the house, but things have changed since then anyway, so this map better reflects the current state of the orchard.
