Following her celebrated monograph Blue Violet, 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 Ocean Vuong, Emerald Drifters is a catalog of pleasures and heartbreaks, and an urgent call to live.
