I fell in love with the work of Shana and Robert Parkeharrison years ago and have kept an eye on them since I was in high school. I still get caught up in the mythology constructed in the works. The Parkeharrisons have created a character who wanders a barren earth attempting to take care of it. The photographs read as stills from a silent film as they are clearly part of a narrative. These pieces are stunning and haunting and the large format in which they are usually printed leads to them completely enveloping the viewer--physically and emotionally--in the world the artists creates.
