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.

Honer farm , November 2015: Deer hunting season brings family members back to the farm. When hunters and other family members and their children gathered at the house for a meal and some time together, I asked Stacy Honer, one of Elaine Honer’s sons, to draw a map with hunting-related landmarks. This map reflects a lifetime of experience on this piece of ground.
