David Benjamin Sherry — Lemurian Morning Wood
David Benjamin Sherry

Lemurian Morning Wood

2011

A lush, psychedelic landscape bathes in an otherworldly palette of saturated magentas, pinks, and purples, transforming the natural world into something dreamlike and transcendent. Sherry's signature darkroom manipulation techniques suffuse this chromogenic print with an almost spiritual intensity, evoking the mythical lost continent of Lemuria through densely packed forest forms glowing with an inner, unearthly light. Flush-mounted to aluminium, the work's luminous surface amplifies the hallucinatory richness of its color, blurring the boundary between documentation and vision.
