Transcript of The Prairie Lines Series
Introducing the Prairie Lines prints
“An artist explores the prairie style elements
of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Bradley House.”
- C. Shoup
“In 1900, Frank Lloyd Wright finished two home commissions in
Kankakee, Illinois. The larger of the two homes—the Bradley House—
is an important landmark highlighting the architect’s initial exploration
and execution of his signature “Prairie style.”
“110 years later, I needed to shake things up with my own artistic
pursuits, so I drove across town to photograph the exterior and interior
of Wright’s Bradley House. The experience led to a refreshing and
welcomed conversation—Wright’s eaves, art glass and horizontal lines
still have much to say. When I began to work with the images a week
later, my process was slowed because got lost in so many of his
elemental design details.
“The Prairie Lines prints reflect the intimate dialogue I had with
Wright’s work.”
- C. Shoup,
