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.

Kubitz farm, January 7, 2016: For Evan—as I imagine it does with most farmers around here—the year begins in April at the dawn of a new growing season, in spite of the calendar’s dictates. The seasons and the weather determine the kinds of work done at various points during the annual cycle, drastically changing lifestyle and mood from month to month.
