Jean Graham, an artist from Austin, TX, completed an Iowa AgArts farm-to-artist residency, finding her inspiration at the Anna and Dave Geyer farm in southeast Iowa. Graham writes, “As I drove through the wildflowers and gorgeous green oceans of corn and soybeans, I wondered why people call this flyover country. Monocrop still reigns, but the Geyers brilliantly diversify in order to farm, nurture the land, and cultivate community.” Her residency culminated in the creation of a 119-page Zine entitled, “Farm, Sweet (Diversified) Farm: an AgArts Residency”.

Graham’s work is called a Zine or a digital booklet, with unique photo-artwork and is available on the AgArts website. (The $15 purchase will be a donation to AgArts.)

Learn more about the project and purchase the zine here: https://www.agarts.org/residency-projects/.

Jean will also be joined by Mary Swander, creator of AgArts and Anna Geyer, farm host and Land Alliance Folk School and Retreat Center director.
