Josie Merck "Weeds, Rock, and Rails"
Atlantic Gallery
This event has ended.
Josie Merck continues to explore nature with a closer look at suburban, urban, and intimate landscapes. Scruffy-plants growing where they want to, and the newest park in New York City---the Highline---have given her inspiration.
The newly designed “gardens” of the elevated park mimic the plants that chose to thrive there over the years of the railroad’s abandonment. Grasses, seed-heads, and ebbing blooms, along the old rails and ties are some of the colorful references found in Merck’s paintings, prints, drawings and standing screens in this new body of work.
