Robert ParkeHarrison layers gelatin silver photography with acrylic paint, gels, and varnishes to create a dreamlike, allegorical world that blurs the boundary between the real and the surreal. The work speaks to themes of human vulnerability and the fragile relationship between mankind and the natural world.
