A longhorn lowers its head into the grass while radiant lines of stitched color extend outward like sunbeams, mapping invisible currents through the landscape. This work reflects the layered history of Oklahoma’s prairie, where native bison once moved freely across the landscape and longhorn cattle arrived later with settlement and ranching. The grazing longhorn stands in quiet conversation with that history, embodying both the endurance of the prairie and the evolving relationship between animals, land, and human presence. The stitched lines emphasize a sense of movement and connection across the open terrain, transforming the scene into a meditation on coexistence, memory, and the lasting calm of free-roaming life.
