Rapture. Radiance. Prairie Seen. is a series of works expressing what we may not see, but sense in the land. Using gouache and acrylic marker, artist Molly Fulton thoughtfully enhances the landscape photography of Tom Dempster. Fulton’s bold layers coupled with Dempster’s captivation of the harmonious energy of the elements serve as an expression of the life, rapture, and radiance that is integral to the prairie. Through these shared observances, Fulton and Dempster encourage viewers to pause and bear witness to the contrasting compositions that construct the vibrancy and vitality of our landscape.
“[The Prairie] is indeed full of rapture and radiance and we can witness that when we slow down and allow ourselves to be present and really see. What landscape shares with us when we grow silent is a connection to our deepest imagination and a very real way of seeing beyond what our eyes make visible.”
-Molly Fulton
