Reading the World

Erin Wiersma’s artistic practice focuses on the human body’s capacity to absorb and respond to an environment. These two new works were created by Wiersma pulling, rubbing, dragging, pushing, and lifting the paper on the Konza Prairie after a prescribed burn. She describes the process: “As the prairie becomes both the subject and the medium, a new landscape is revealed, allowing me to know where I dwell."
