I wanted to explore further the concept of nature versus the human desire to control it. In this series, I made a cardboard grid then placed the grasses under it.

For both "All Gridded Up One" and "All Gridded Up Two", the grid is a machine gray, the grasses are vibrant red and orange for contrast.

Oh yes, and just for fun, I cut out several squares and transposed them between these two prints.

As the name implies, "Ghost of the Grid" is just that. I moved some of the squares to "Nature’s Night Moves", and vice versa.

I did add black charcoal to parts of "Nature’s Night Moves" to signify nature’s wild aspect, its untamed mysteries.

At first glance it looks like the grasses have disappeared from the grid. But looking more closely we see they are still there and ready to reclaim their places again.
