Valley Farms (2014)

Valley Farms began as a project exploring the seasonal workers of the Annapolis Valley but soon became an exploration into the current fruit, vegetable and grain agriculture of Nova Scotia. Farmers’ markets in urban areas have grown in popularity and while we’re reminded that there are economical, environmental and social benefits to eating local, we seldom inquire how these medium sized farms function. The work brings to light the agricultural technologies and labourers who provide us with sustenance throughout the year.

This body of work was exhibited at Studio 21 Fine Art Gallery as part of the Photopolis Photo Festival. A selection of these works were purchased and hang in the law office of Stewart McKelvey in Halifax.
