Description
Towering shelves of books climb toward a coffered ceiling in this black and white photograph of the Cincinnati Public Library's interior, capturing the soaring verticality and architectural grandeur of a vast reading room. The intricate latticed overhead structure and densely packed volumes create a labyrinthine composition that speaks to the overwhelming abundance and sacred order of a grand public institution. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
