Emerald drifters

Emerald Drifters, a catalog of pleasures and heartbreaks.

Emerald Drifters (Monacelli/Phaidon, 2025), explores sensual experience, focusing on the ephemeral nature of light, pigment, and vision. The photographs are lush tableaux of signature subjects–flora, cakes, domestic interiors, and the human figure in the landscape–accompanied by prose vignettes on the science and art of color.
