"Dust to Apples" is an innovative community-based land art project that reimagines the concept of "working the land" by transforming plants and minerals found on the Colorado Plains into captivating artworks. Rooted in the rich heritage of Melody Epperson's great-grandparents, who were both Colorado Homesteaders and farmers, this project aims to engage with landowners and open spaces. It aims to reconnect us to the land and better understand the meaning of “working the land”.
The project will take place over two growing seasons with the culmination being an exhibition of Epperson’s art as well as documentation of the process. It all began with a trip to Springfield Colorado with my mother. This is where her grandparents homesteaded a small farm in 1921. Charles Hill and his wife and family moved here to begin their new life as people who worked the land.
