Sea of Grass explores the remnant and eradicated tallgrass prairie along the I-35 corridor from Central Texas to the Flint Hills of Kansas, depicting loss, destruction, and possibility. Housed in a custom chipboard case, a trio of small books — Bison Wallow, Prairie Town, The Corridor — is accompanied by a risograph image/text print.

Once one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems with immense carbon sequestration capacity, only 4% of the 150 million acres of tallgrass prairie remain. It is a broken prairie and a devastated environment where large-scale monocrop farming and unrestrained development continue to scrape away what little remains. There are, though, islands of hope where prairie is being preserved or restored, and where bison have been returned to the land.
