Moore Estates (detail)
by Matthew Moore

ARTIST STATEMENT

The trials and tribulations of American agriculture, its roles in contemporary globalization, and its questionable ecological practices create a foundation for my explorations as an artist. In displaying the past and future of the farm, I have used our land to explore similarities between commercial agriculture and residential areas, which reveals their social, cultural and economic consequences locally, nationally and internationally. Through my artwork, I explore the dilemmas that reveal the impact of the American dream on our society and the land as we transition towards a post-agrarian nation.

In October of 2004, my grandfather sold the first portion of our family’s land to Taylor Woodrow to build a 253-home suburban community. I acquired the company’s proposed community map from the city and used it as the template for the design of Rotations: Moore Estates. I mapped out Moore Estates at approximately one-third scale — the development site is 85 acres, Moore Estates is 35 acres — using a CAD program and a GPS surveying crew. My father and I planted 253 homes in sorghum (a grain commonly used for dairy feed) and my wife and I seeded the roads in wheat four months later, as the two grains are seasonally opposite. All the grain was harvested at the end of the project and donated to a local dairy.
