Dan Oberly,
with his pickup From a body of work about rural community in Missouri Text on the photograph:"I don't think much about the land. But when I had to sell some of it, I felt like tearing off an arm or a leg. You feel guilty. I just don't feel right, and you don't get over it, not for a long while. But it's better to have part of a farm than no farm at all. You know, people in Texas think we're poverty stricken. I never was greedy. I just wanted enough to eat and to get by." (Iris print) Patty Reece (USA) "In a rural community, interdependence rises to the level of an art form. Necessary for survival, the mutual dependence of those in the country dictates choices and creates a life style. The manner in which one conducts this process determines the richness or poverty of one's life, on many levels." |
