I was super excited when I found out David Maisel was showing is Library of Dust @ Von Lintel Gallery in Chelsea. I cant explain it better than he does via
David Maisel.
"Sublimely beautiful, yet disquieting, the enigmatic photographs inLibrary of Dust are meditations on issues of matter and spirit."
