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,
