Like so many others during the pandemic, artist Leigh Merrill escaped into nature.

She wasn’t so much looking for solace as exploring the delicate balance between humans and forests, natural spaces that are increasingly affected by our existence. Merrill’s latest exhibition, “Collecting Forests” at Liliana Bloch Gallery, uses the same digital collaging techniques that informed her earlier projects centered on urban landscapes and curated foliage.

“I am interested in the simulation and mediation of place, which draws me to photography and its complicated relationship to reality and truthfulness,” Merrill says. “Photography provides evidence of existence and simultaneously a system to mediate and construct reality.”

Ranging from lush green forest scenes to dreamy black-and-white images, “Collecting Forests” is a treatise on how memories of real events and places eventually coalesce into otherworldly recollections of spaces that never existed.

“Leigh Merrill: Collecting Forests” runs through Aug. 21 at Liliana Bloch Gallery, 4741 Memphis St., Dallas. By appointment only. For more information, visit lilianablochgallery.com or call 214-991-5617.
