These photographs are part of Steel Work, a work in progress by Terry Evans.
Terry Evans is a photographer whose work has been primarily an inquiry into the nature of prairie from its native state to its use, abandonment, and care. She photographs from both ground and aerial perspectives and lately within the confines of natural history herbaria, and bird and mammal museum storage areas, where she has recently photographed 19th Century prairie specimens. Her intention has been to tell the prairie’s stories, past and present, through visible facts and layers of time and memory on the landscape. Her recent work entitled ‘Revealing Chicago: An Aerial Portrait’ explored the complexities of the urban prairie as she photographed Chicago and the surrounding region from the air.
