Erin Wiersma's "Konza Works on Paper" originate during a targeted burn in the Konza Prairie (Kansas). Close to the fire and on the traces of the former waterways, she works in a performance with the easily combustible material paper. The artist herself is the medium that creates something completely new and present, taking into account the natural elements of wind, temperature and humidity. Equally decisive for the aggregate state of each of her artworks is the factor of time, the scheduling of the fires in the respective regions. Erin Wiersma's artistic practice is born out of an interest in the history of the prairie as a place of its former inhabitants, its flora and fauna, and an expression of a deep connection to this landscape.
