“Imprint” is my first major body of work and was completed as a part of my MFA thesis. The project exists in two main forms as a gallery exhibition of limited edition fine art prints and as a published monograph. Contained within the monograph are 30 photographs and a foreword by writer Lee Burbage. The first edition of 1000 was designed by Ethan Waterman, published by Rock Run Press, and printed and perfect bound in Iceland by the Oddi Printing Company in the spring of 2010.
I will be updating this blog with the dates and locations of future exhibitions of “Imprint.” The monograph is available at various galleries and bookstores around the country as well as under the Rock Run Press page on my website. If you are a gallery or bookstore owner interested in carrying Imprint, please contact me directly: larimer.nathan@gmail.com.
“Imprint” project statement:
Where does nature end and man begin? When man leaves a mark how does it transform a place? From ancient petroglyphs to contemporary graffiti, humans have always marked their environment. Such marks mediate the relationship between nature and humanity, ultimately revealing a connection that our modern lives too often overlook. My approach to these marks is that of an environmental portraitist, and my hope is they will tell a story about who we are, what we believe, where we come from, and given in moderation, even become harmonious and beautiful. We are compelled to leave our imprint.
