In 2021, Prosek traveled to the Texas Hill Country to understand the region s threatened prairie habitats, thus embarking on a project to explore the complex realities of contemporary American grasslands. Prosek s art is influenced by his science-based, firsthand fieldwork, with his handwritten notes often lining the margins. The book features his richly detailed watercolors and silhouettes of animals, plants, and habitats that reinforce the importance of the prairies as their own complete ecosystems as well as the boundaries that define them in the present day from fencerows to more subtle transitions that distinguish a native prairie from one with invasive grasses. Art lovers, students of American history, landscape architects, horticulturalists, environmentalists, and lovers of open spaces will enjoy adding this book to their libraries.
