| Description: |
Known for her photographs of the prairie as an orderly grid, taken from high above, Evans here works at lower altitudes to focus on the land as an inhabited place. All these images help the viewer to understand the layers of life on the prairie, and the complex interweaving of nature and man. |
| Synopsis: |
Seen from high above, the prairie is an orderly grid of farmland; closer to ground level, it reveals the industriousness of humanity in the making and remaking of the land. Considered by many to be lacking in inspiration, this underappreciated landscape is shown by photographer Terry Evans to be a land of varied textures, and in this collection of photographs she reads the land for the stories it has to tell. Widely known for her spectacular photographs of pristine prairie, Evans here works at low altitudes to focus on the land as an inhabited place. These fifty black-and-white images document specific locations and disclose some of the contradictions and mysteries about how we live on the prairie. Through her lens we view the site of an ancient Indian village, targets on the Smoky Hill Weapons Range, and old country cemeteries; observe the startling contours of plowed fields and sandpits; and witness the tranquillity of deer grazing on new winter wheat. All of these images help us to understand the layers of life on the prairie and the complex interweaving of nature and man. |
