Visalia Art commission:
Where the Fruits of Labor Reside
To look at any harvest is to look at the land and the people on it and this immediately involves politics and economics.We came to see these as "at odds" with community and "at odds" with the moment we were being asked to address, namely creating a moment to embrace your neighbor because together you share something even if agreeing on what exactly is shared seems impossible. How to apportion that sharing even more problematic. So, in developing Where the Fruits of Labor Reside, we decided to favor community over any other stance, to acknowledge that people of disperse histories and even more diverse beliefs exist together in a community. Within this small work, and festival moment we seek to check our differences away and share in the beauty that is the bringing forth of the essential from the earth.
