Work on Prairie Grid started in 1975 as a project of University of Illinois graduate student Barry Henemann. It was made of 1" steel pipe he salvaged from the U of I Physical Plant scrap bin. The pipes were welded and bolted into "space grids" which offer strength and rigidity for a sculpture of this form.
