Gary Beeber: Michael Malone: Portrait of An American Organic Farmer
Artist Gary Beeber tells stories of people who have unique perspectives, typically contrary to social norms. In Michael Malone: A Portrait of an American Organic Farmer, Beeber’s film and photographs, taken between 2022 and 2023, showcase the life of Michael Malone, capturing the demands of routine farm life and how they conflict with the artist’s initial perception of Malone’s character. Beeber’s playful work highlights Malone’s personality, with the works providing a glimpse into Michael’s connection with the local Dayton-Centerville farming community, his relationship to organic food, and his views on the larger agricultural industry in America.
