Grasses and forbes collected from the Tanglewood Prairie in early July were printed on chalk pastel pigmented cotton muslin.
All plant material in this series was gathered from the Tanglewood Prairie, managed by the Science Museum of Minnesota. Individual pieces were made using the grasses and forbes harvested on July 1, late July, early August, late August, and the end of September. The atmosphere of each harvest day was recreated on the background material – sunny in July; cloudy, with a storm on the horizon in August.

Chalk Pastel enhancements were added after the grass prints dried. 38” x 25” $1050 each piece
