Forestbed
A solitary figure lies embedded within a barren, dreamlike landscape in Robert ParkeHarrison's *Forestbed*, rendered in rich, textured layers of gelatin silver print enhanced with acrylic paint, gels, and varnishes. The work evokes a haunting sense of symbiosis between the human body and the earth, as though the figure is simultaneously consumed by and nurturing the degraded natural world. ParkeHarrison's signature blend of photography and hand-applied materials creates a painterly, allegorical quality that blurs the boundaries between documentary and myth.
