About Brian Merriam
Brian Merriam is a photographer originally from upstate New York, currently based in Los Angeles, CA. Brimming with mystery, his photographs seek to document the forgotten corners, empty roads and nowhere places of America and beyond.
In the words of Daniel Arnold, the artist’s friend and fellow photographer, "He’s a sad 70s-quarterback-lookin’ nowhere man who gets therapy making his own crazy sense of nowhere places. Claims the details nobody else cares about. Memorizes all the sick shit. Distills Mozart out of My Bloody Valentine for his own satisfaction. And that’s ace orphan strategy if you think about it. Charting all the lonely places. You just can’t sweat the void near as bad after you’ve stood on it stoned in sweatpants and been like dude, void, pretty sick."
