Los Angeles native Marta Chaffee (b.1936) has been making art about the Southern California landscape for over six decades. Her new body of work, “Grasses,” is a collection of closely observed drawings that blur the boundaries between abstraction and representation. Using soft pencil tones and erasing out shapes Chaffee’s compositions reflect both the majesty and the often-overlooked complexity of these humble plants. Her marks—at once precise and gestural can be read as meditative reflections on time, light, and the changing shape of the natural world.
