Susanne Cockrell and Ted Purves, both professors at California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco, create social art projects under the moniker fieldfaring. They investigate
the overlay of urban and rural systems upon the lives of specific communities. They ask questions about the nature of people and place as seen through social economy, history and local ecology.
Borrowing from their Midwestern upbringings, the customs and symbols stereotypical of rural life have become part of their process and the narrative of their projects, including their first collaboration, Temescal Amity Works, and last year’s Lemon Everlasting Backyard Battery.
