Welcome to Relic Prairie! This portfolio consists of cyanotype artworks that celebrate the Llano Estacado’s semi-arid landscape. Prairie grasses and playa wetland plants of the high plains are placed on light sensitive paper or painted wood and exposed to sunlight. This magical process reveals a photogram print. Plant shapes intersect with strategic brushing and dripping application of the cyanotype solution to indicate the constant movement of weather. Indigo blue and sky blue are base layers. To achieve earth tone, cyanotypes are submerged in a bath of hot tea.

Presenting a portfolio of artworks prepared in consultation with the UMC facility design team for an interior design project. The artworks are created by building on my cyanotype prints of regional native plants. Cyanotype prints are digitally color enhanced and strategically cropped to achieve a series of contemporary artworks reflecting the swagger and softness of west Texas.

[2011-2012] Pavement to Prairie and Sustainable Cabin are two art/architecture projects. Pavement to Prairie blueprints native grasses into the interior doors of Charles Adams residence. Big bluestem is gathered from Adam’s ranchland in Garza county and printed into his urban home in downtown Lubbock. This project seeks to honor the pre cotton landscape of west Texas. Sustainable Cabin, is a small house project by Upe Flueckiger inspired by Henry David Thoreau and Le Corbusier. I was invited to blue print the signatures of these two historic figures into the interior wall cladding.
