Working Land

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: Maree and Graham, the Pesches’ youngest child, watched as I photographed Sylvia. I noticed them there and turned my camera 90 degrees to photograph mother and son, the old barn looking on as time passes and changes come to the farm.
