My four year old niece picked me a bouquet of wild grass and sweet clover flowers for my birthday. Besides the touching sentiment, the bouquet possessed a simple charm that showcased the beauty of prairie grasses. Having taken botany in college, I've long appreciated the diversity of the tall grass prairie yet never considered using it to create visual art, but the lines and textures in the bouquet has left me pondering new ideas. In a world where everything is so commercialized and prepackaged, it was nice to still find a simple touch of love.
