Derek Henderson: Mercy Mercer

by Derek Henderson (Photographer), Jan Bryant (Foreword)

With a large-format camera, Derek Henderson set out to make a document of Mercer, New Zealand, the rural town in which his mother was raised. In Mercy Mercer , Henderson draws on the legacy of color photographers Sternfeld and Shore, imbuing dilapidated interiors, family portraits and expansive river views alike with a sense of monumentality.
