Plumb would come to produce Megalith-Still, a series of portraits of the herd, imbued with a deep tenderness, and powerful physic weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e“The horses sleep lying down, legs twitching, mouths wrapped around blades of grass. The flies are attracted to their moist, flickering eyes. I’m as close as I can focus, examining their faces, tails, hooves and bellies, bewitched by the sensuality of horse and place.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e“I am in a meadow high in the Sierra Nevada. Channels of the San Joaquin River braid through the thick, lush grass. I take off my shoes and socks, roll up my pants and wade through the shallow water to where the horses are now eating. They trace a pattern, mysterious to me, around and around the meadow, eating, drinking, and sleeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e“Late in the afternoon, the horses abruptly leave the meadow in a single line. I race after them through a swamp of thick mud and dead trees and branches which scratch my arms. They trot and canter, moving faster than they’ve moved all day. I can’t catch up to them. When I reach the edge of the main riverbank, I see the last of the horses cautiously step into the deep, swift-moving water, and slowly float to the other side.” - Mimi Plumb\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThree-quarter bound in a uniquely tactile fibrous wool paper (produced using surplus from the fashion industry) and expertly printed in tritone, Mimi Plumb’s Megalith-Still is a truly timeless publication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanley Barker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555640545337,"sku":"210000002838","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0872\/9145\/files\/annotation-2024-03-18-135936.jpg?v=1790279594","url":"https:\/\/shop.icp.org\/products\/mimi-plumb-megalith-still","provider":"International Center of Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
