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, 2014: The aerial view in this composite shows Lida Farm’s mixed-use locale, which includes agricultural land, woodland and lake-oriented recreational and residential areas. To tie this composition together, in the lower image, I used the metallic silver color of the barn siding and the arching shape of the roof to echo the upper image.
