Prairie: Images of Ground and Sky introduces Terry Evans’s sustained photographic attention to the grassland environment. Close views of grasses and other living details meet wider pictures of land and sky, encouraging readers to look at the prairie at several scales. Introductory essays by Wes Jackson and Gregory Bateson accompany the photographs. This early volume establishes a central thread in Evans’s practice: finding visual complexity and ecological meaning in a landscape whose richness can be overlooked at a glance.
