An essential companion to Hanmer’s other works such as Bluestem, Prairie, Homestead, Flip Farm, and Bequest. ![]() Hanmer, no stranger to themes of the rural Midwest, captures the essence of those trips in dreamy imagery wrapped in a skillfully crafted minimalist structure that does not intrude on the experience. Karen Hanmer’s Mirage reflects those hot late-summer road trips when the crops are tall, the days long and hot, the air dusty, and the road flat and straight, punctuated only by farms racing by in a blur. Mirage is winner of the award for best 3D entry in the 2010 Midwestern Biennial exhibition at the Rockford Art Museum, Rockford, IL. A journey across a rural Midwestern landscape of both space and time.
