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. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
