Rooted in found kinship, shared geography, and uncanny origins, Prairie Poetics (2023) is a two-person show featuring the work of Anne Skaug and Katie B. H. Wolff. Through concrete, fibers, photographs, and found objects, portals are created: memories embedded in cloth, a landscape transcending time, and every absence a presence.

 

This installation is a material reflection of the innumerable conversations between Skaug and Wolff contemplating experiences that meet and diverge. Each work exists within an unfolding archive of the topographies of grief, the incarnation of internal landscapes, and a longing to hold with tenderness the tension of one’s inheritance.
