Tory Tepp is a multi-disciplinary artist working at the intersection of land art, agriculture and community engagement. In 2009 Tory attained his MFA as part of the inaugural class of Suzanne Lacy’s Public Practice Program. Shortly after, he served as the driver and public representative for Mel Chin’s Fundred Dollar Bill Project, driving a vintage armored car 19,000 miles around the country to engage with over 100 schools, museums and community centers. This created an itinerant art practice for Tory, doing projects and residencies around the country, predominantly in rural or wilderness areas such as Death Valley, the High Sierra mountains, Florida and the high plains of Colorado. The Road came to an end in Sauk County where Tory regrouped with Wormfarm Institute, resulting in the establishment of creative roots there. Currently Tory splits his time between Wisconsin, working with farmers and Kernza, and Florida where he has created a series of food forest installations at Hillsborough Community College campuses.
