Mineral Meridian presents paintings by Heath Wae centered on magnified orchids rendered in soft, atmospheric color. Distorted scale, blurred edges, and immersive surfaces shift attention from botanical description toward sensory experience. Using hand-foraged pigments such as minerals, resins, and plant materials, Wae emphasizes the living histories within his materials. The works invite viewers to reconsider plants as active presences, highlighting human entanglement with natural systems.
