Borrowing the title from Albrecht Dürer’s 1503 watercolor by almost the same name, A Great Piece of Turf refers to both lawn, yard and territory. Beck created drawings with watercolor, ink, graphite & charcoal based on her own yard, including a monumental graphite drawing. The drawings are meditations on otherwise mundane plots of land, weeds, and grass mostly in from the artist’s backyard and neighborhood.
