Inner Weather 5
DESCRIPTION
Archival pigment print | 2019
In this series Merriam explores nature through a hazy surreal lense, meant to signify a deeper philosophical finding he had about the subconscious and how humans process difficult emotions. To illustrate the purpose of this series we’ve chosen to publish the unedited description from the artist below.
“Inner Weather is metaphor for recovery, a step in the right direction on a long road, a series about how changing the way you look at the same thing can change your outlook as a whole. A lot of my earlier work includes moody images shrouded in mists, uncertain and foreboding. The images acted as outward manifestations of inner feelings, visual metaphors of what is left unresolved in the wake of loss. In this series I acknowledge that many times there is no answer, no real closure. That to a certain extent those emotions will always remain under the surface. However, it is up to me to choose how to view and interact with those emotions. This series is the visual manifestation of looking upon those feelings with a fresh perspective, an optimistic retelling of a formerly bleak outlook.”

Framing & Mounting

Framing
Our frames are produced from the best quality wood, primarily from Italy. Each is custom cut and assembled by hand to fit your art. Hanging hardware included!
THIN GALLERY FRAME
This modern profile was designed for artists and photographers. Narrow on the front and deep on the sides, our slim mouldings provide a clean, sharp frame for your art, and allows all focus to be on your gorgeous work.
3/4" wide; 1 1/8" deep
UV - PROTECTIVE ACRYLIC
Our acrylic is more expensive than glass, but we use it because it’s clearer, far more impact resistant, and protects your art against UV rays. Framing-grade acrylic has become a new standard in framing because of its “clear” benefits.
THE FULL BLEED
Works are framed flush with the edge of your print without a mat. Request border modifications and spacers, which keep the work from touching the glass.
THE MAT
Adds a white core mat with a bevel cut opening to the edge of your print. If your work has a signature or edition numbering, we will automatically mat around it unless otherwise specified.
We use 4-ply, conservation-grade, acid-free mat board. We match whites and off-whites to your exact piece. Acid-free materials protect your art from yellowing or becoming brittle.
THE FLOAT
Floating a piece allows for a full view of the face and sides of the artwork. Floating is recommended for original drawings and paintings or any piece produced on specially trimmed paper.
