Heirlooms

Heirlooms is an exploration of heritage breed farm animals that are going extinct because of changing farm lifestyles. As in All That May Be, I visually compare the antique tools of cultivation and care with modern scientific ideas and structures. What place does our ecosystem have? Where does farming fit, and what does it mean to tend and keep in a culture of economies of scale? These pieces celebrate the character and individual beauty of animal breeds that were selected over many generations of farming in traditional lifestyles.
