In *Earthcoat*, Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison present a hauntingly surreal black-and-white photograph enhanced with layers of acrylic paint and varnishes, blurring the boundary between photography and painting. The work depicts a solitary figure enveloped in or burdened by an organic, earth-like substance, evoking themes of humanity's fragile and complex relationship with the natural world. The flush-mounting to the artists' hand-crafted wood frame further emphasizes the tactile, handmade quality of the piece, reinforcing its sense of intimacy and myth.
