Description CIG HARVEY: EMERALD DRIFTERS Cig Harvey is a British-born, Maine-based artist who uses images and language to celebrate the beauty in the everyday. This is her fifth monograph. In Emerald Drifters (2025), Harvey continues her personal study of sensory experience, focusing on the ephemeral nature of light, pigment, and vision. Her latest photographs are lush tableaux of her signature subjects – flora, cakes, domestic interiors, and the human figure in landscape – accompanied by prose vignettes on the science and art of color, written in her vibrant, intimate style. Featuring an afterword by award-winning novelist and poet Ocean Vuong, Emerald Drifters is a catalogue of pleasures and heartbreaks, and ‘an urgent call to live.’
