Title: Grass Tufts
Series: Surface
Location: Chase County, Kansas
Year: 2017
Medium: Archival Pigment Photograph
Artist: Jamaica Jones
Dried prairie grasses gather in dense clusters across the ground, catching low light and forming a quiet field of texture and shadow. Repetition becomes the primary subject as the landscape dissolves into pattern and surface.
The photograph isolates the prairie into fragments—growth and dormancy registering as texture rather than horizon. Each tuft rises and folds back into the field, creating subtle shifts in density, color, and light.
Rather than centering distance or sky, the image turns attention downward, where time accumulates quietly through repetition, weather, and seasonal change.
Surface is a study of material, texture, and the visible imprint of time. The series focuses closely on stone, metal, wood, and built elements shaped by weathering and use. Removed from broader context, each image reveals how surfaces record history through erosion, patina, repetition, and wear.
