About the Item

Carduus Nutans Sways by Marcy Palmer presents a small gathering of musk thistles, illuminated in a background of gold. This photograph is made of 24k gold leaf on vellum with an archival UV varnish and wax. This print measures 22 x 16 inches and is available in an edition of 3. A signature label is included, with name, title, materials, series, edition number and date. More sizes are available with varying editions. Carduus Nutans Sways is part of Marcy Palmer's series, You Are Eternity. Marcy Palmer grew up in the foothills region of the Adirondack Mountains in the historic city, Saratoga Springs, NY. As a child, she spent time exploring the outdoors which fueled her imagination and play. Marcy’s work explores themes of beauty, history, and social justice through the lens of photo history, nature, and science. She often approaches her work with questions that relate to research and considerations of how the materials in the work can further communicate her ideas. Integrating various approaches to image-making from contemporary to historical practices, Marcy is particularly influenced by the earliest practitioners of photography, and the Surrealist and Bauhaus movements. Recently, Marcy’s interests have focused on botanicals, and their various uses in medicine and healing, as methods of communication, and as symbols of the greater good. Marcy has an M.F.A. in Photography Related Media from the School of Visual Arts and a B.S. in Studio Art from Skidmore College. Her work has been exhibited at various spaces including The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Center for Photographic Art, The Giffin Museum of Photography, The Ogden Museum of Art and other spaces. Her work has been written about in Lenscratch, The Boston Globe Sunday edition, D Magazine and other publications. Marcy released a book with Yoffy Press titled “You Are Eternity, You Are the Mirror” which was chosen as a Photo-Eye 2020 favorite photobook, The Luupe’s Favorite Woman-Made Books of the Year, and Deep Red Press’s Favorite Photobooks. She lives and works in Dallas, TX.
