The Mountain is Something More than a Vast Green Expanse

Emily Myerscough is an interdisciplinary artist combining documentary photography, scientific methodologies, and a conceptually-based practice to explore the visual limits of objective reporting. She received a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and is currently completing her MFA in Photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her thesis, La Montaa es Algo Ms [The Mountain is Something More], is an installation-based work that examines the interplay between the political and geological history of an active volcanic crater outside Managua, Nicaragua. Her work has been funded by grants from the Nellie Mae Foundation and the Society for Photographic Education (Southeast Region), and has been exhibited in New York and Georgia.
