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, June 18, 2015: Paulette has just harvested a few radishes, and early-season crop. Vegetable gardens look fresh and tidy in early summer, before plants and gardeners grow weary. Paulette is learning Minnesota-style gardening after living most of her adult life in southern California, and benefits from Marlys’ years of experience.
