A collage of images I cut out of farming magazines to give me some inspiration

The scale of machinery is huge, i don't quite understand why everything has to be so large. Without machinery farming would be a lot harder, how would we make bales or cary sheep?

All brands like Barbour, Land rover, Burberry have got a similar connection to the countryside. I love how practical they can be for farming, a solid structure and reliability.

once a year the sheep get sheared to stop them from over heating. The shearers have very specific uniforms. They wear moccasins on their feet to so that they dont slip on the oils and so they can feel the animal and control it.

Maggie Nickerson inspired my images for the photgraphy project.

"FARM (2002) represents Nickerson’s turn away from conventional thinking and technical rules. To convey the visual terrain of those laboring in hours of intense sunlight, she altered the images, desaturating and decentering, to deliver a complex fidelity in her photographs about the materiality and organic work of the land in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and South Africa."

As another part of our summer project we had to look into photography. I chose to keep it in relation with my uniform project.

Although there was a large amount of men at war, the rest who were farming still farmed in very similar unifrom as we do today. Some form of overalls or boilersuit, some men still like to wear jeans and a checked shirt with wellies.

The Land girls gave me insperation for my overalls project.

I decided to create something that i could wear on the farm now for lambing and sheering. An overall for practical use, that can keep the rest of my clothes clean and can be used as a layer over or under clothing.

Land girls were replacing men on the farm as they fuaght at war. Supposedly the land girls fed the nation to victory in WW1.

Farming back in the day normallly consisted of land girls who helped with many jobs on the farm such as, harvesting, lambing, milking and digging. The land ladys all wore similair uniform which was made up of an overall, shirts and boots or shooes.

This summer we have been asked to research uniform. One uniform i am constantly around is farming, lambing, sheering and machining.

I invision a farmer to wear waterproofs and wellies. Its such a boring uniform, many young farmers wear checked shirts and jeans which does make them look smart. However, the uniform those wear to the highland games is alot more interesting to me. The tweed two pieces, with boots and a cap is alot more appealing. Hunting unifrom is on a very similar level, so id like to look into this too.
