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, November 2, 2013: I left the barn after some unsuccessful attempts at a decent cow portrait, and came upon Evan’s crawler loader glowing in sunset light. His Scandinavian immigrant ancestors who homesteaded nearby would have appreciated such a machine while clearing their felds of stumps and boulders.
