Thermal Explorer Forgotten World 6

DESCRIPTION

Archival Pigment Print | 2018

Thermal Explorer, Forgotten World furthers Merriams relationship with out of the way, empty and pristine parts of the world. Without intention to shoot anything in particular, Merriam lets the place, in this case New Zealand, dictate the direction of his work. Arriving in the spring, the artist was particularly drawn to the abundance of wildflowers embodying a regeneration of life. The resulting series captures both ancient mountains and fields of just birthed flowers, two entities rising from the ground at vastly different scales.

AUTHENTICATION

Merriam describes this trip and period in life as extraordinarily dream-like in itself. In Alaska at this time of year, it barely gets dark and the sun never sets beneath the horizon.

Merriam’s work, brimming with mystery, seeks to document the forgotten corners, empty roads, and nowhere places of America and beyond.
