Mapping of the farm is a project I have been working on for a couple of years. Learning that the family farm where my mother grew up would be sold to a industrial gravel quarry company, triggered the idea for this project. I intend to make three stitched maps of the area, as well as gather images of the buildings and people that live on this land. The farm is another piece included in this series.
