In this sweater, I wanted to focus on the linear elements that make me buzz with joy when I see the prairie, the way the rows of corn and grain line up and radiate away as you drive by.

I never love metals when they’re shiny and new; rather, I prefer them a few years (or decades) down the road, when they’ve lived a little bit and developed depth and complexity—sometimes in tones startlingly different than the metal itself. My favorite of these is the patina t...
