Cloud Studies by Meri Page of Seaweed Press is part of CODEX’s consignment program! To view it in person, email [email protected] to make an appointment. For more information or to purchase, visit codexfoundation.org/store/consignment.

Cloud Studies represents an ongoing practice of photographing clouds. Interested in the ever-changing qualities and infinite variations, Page is inspired by the way clouds connect, transform, and hold meaning. “Abstract yet continually coalescing into suggestive forms, clouds invite recognition of something familiar, a dance of transformation and interconnectedness.” Within the book, Page layers moments from different locations, days, and years, and weaves in historic hand drawn weather maps forming a visual meditation on connection and impermanence.
