Exhibition Label: "A Kansas Arts Sampler," Oct-2004, Kate Meyer For many years, Schwarm has recorded the annual prairie burnings in the grasslands and pastures near his home of Emporia. This cycle of spring burning is essential to maintaining the grassland ecosystem and stimulates early plant growth for grazing. Schwarm explores the formal and spiritual potential of this process through his simple compositions that maximize intensity of color and contrast.
