Light and Land
The Story
From within the Grand Canyon, the landscape unfolds in layers—steep slopes, sheer walls, and bands of rock continually revealed and concealed by shifting light. Those layers preserve the remains of changing environments, from shallow seas to vast fields of sand dunes, deposited between roughly 530 and 270 million years ago—long before the canyon itself was carved by the mighty Colorado River.
While backpacking through the inner canyon, I was drawn to the way sunlight moved across the rock, changing its color, shape, and depth. Light and Land explores the interplay between the canyon’s geology and the ever-changing light that reveals it.
Print Options
Meredith works directly, in person, with master printers in Denver, Colorado, overseeing every stage of the printing process to ensure the final work is of the highest quality possible. The materials used are among the most stable available and, when properly displayed, can last well over 200 years before any visible fading begins to occur. Prints are also sprayed with Hahnemühle Protective Spray to protect them from external influences and prevent color fading. This process ensures the best level of print integrity and longevity, allowing the work to be lived with and preserved for generations.
Artist Proofs: these exclusive artworks are typically the very first prints ever produced and reserved for family or specific collectors.
For best results, it is recommended that the unopened tube be taken directly to a professional framer, who can safely unroll, flatten, and prepare the print for framing.
Professional handling helps reduce the risk of creasing, surface marks, or damage to the paper.
It is highly recommended that prints are displayed behind non-reflective museum glass and protect them from prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Framing can be arranged upon request. If you would like a framing quote or wish to discuss options, please note this when submitting your inquiry and I will be happy to review details and pricing with you directly.
