This limited-edition book brings together a selection of seven tipped-in photographs, all taken in New Mexico and signed and numbered by the artist, including images from Sherry's American Monuments series (the Radius trade monograph documenting the full body of work that is now sold out). Sherry documents pristine, sacred, and wildly diverse areas using the traditional, historic 8-×-10-inch format. The resulting photographs not only convey the beauty of these important and ecologically diverse sites but also shed light upon the plight of the perennially exploited landscape of the American West.
David Benjamin Sherry’s work revolves around interests in environmentalism, queer identity, and alternative analog film processes. He’s best known for his colorful landscape work, brought upon by the desire to explore the last remaining wildernesses in America. Through numerous projects, Sherry’s work expresses deep concern for the rapidly changing environment, while continuing to sustain a queer sensibility in the hetero-male dominated canon of landscape photography. Sherry has referred to himself as a “nostalgic futurist” and currently uses a large format 8x10 film camera in order to reflect and understand our connection within the contemporary American landscape. David Benjamin Sherry is represented by Morán Morán Gallery, Los Angeles.
