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, October 5, 2014: This is one of the side walls of the farm’s old single-car garage. Tools and supplies line the interior walls of the building, leaving room in the middle for a vehicle or a trailer loaded with apples during harvest time. I love the colors and textures in places like this, and even the smells of old wood, grease and gasoline.
