Urban Plough

“In the 21st century, at the frontier, the urban and rural do not meet; they collide. My family has farmed the same land outside of Phoenix, Arizona for four generations and it will soon be developed. My art practice recounts my reactions to the changes in such landscapes, while also representing my attempts to reconcile the urban with the rural in times where many historical and cultural practices are in danger of being engulfed.”

So writes Matthew Moore, a modern American artist with an agricultural twist.
