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.

Lida Farm, November 8, 2015: Sylvia, the oldest of the Pesch children, happily posed for a quick portrait in her familiar home surroundings. Farm kids are lucky; by watching their parents and learning to help, they find out how things work, where food comes from and how to work together as a family. Their sense of usefulness and competence will serve them well.
