Infra Rainbow
Archival ink on handmade Khadi paper | 2023
An extension of Merriam’s series 'Rosa Mundi,' Infra Rainbow is an evocative and rare glimpse at nature’s fleeting yet breathtaking beauty. In January of 2023, Merriam returned to the big island of Hawaii to view and photograph the eruption of Kilauea — requiring long nights and endless patience. This stunning image was captured one morning on a walk along the island’s volcanic east coast, as the celestial realm provided stark contrast to the hardened black lava of the earthen cliffs. The handmade Khadi paper on which the piece is printed is meant to invoke the feeling of the land around us — rugged, black, and uneven.
Original artwork may ship after the exhibition has ended.
Exhibition runs April 21st - June 10th

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.
