Requiem to a Dying Planet / My Own Plot Project
In 2009 I started the project 'Requiem to a Dying Planet taping in to the idea of subsistence and the necessity of free farming. I have been photographing people and the landscape produced by them, for their own keep, Subsistence farmers. The project has been documenting different methods of farming when applied to different landscapes. In 2011 I started My Own Plot Project that observes the different aspects of urban farming. I chose a particular way of shooting which is Helping me to create visually the dialogue that exist between Urban Subsistence farmers and the landscape. The project followed for 12 months four couples and their home vegetable plots, creating a portrait of the landscape and making a record in 12 images per plot. I am showing at Source four images that represent the four seasons.
