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: Keith clearly enjoyed this appleharvesting weekend as a respite from life and work in Fargo. He told of the successes and shortcomings of the year’s effort—lessons learned—from the perspective of one intimately involved in every step. I thought the vivid red apples on the white fabric made a beautiful still life.
