Landscapes undone

Two love affairs continue simultaneously here: 1) photos of mines, and 2) photos by David Maisel.


[Images: David Maisel, from his series The Mining Project; these are Bingham Canyon, Utah, and the so-called Clifton Tanks, Arizona].

Maisel writes of a "fascination with the undoing of the landscape," a kind of geo-industrial unpuzzling of the terrestrial surface and its impermanent forms. He also has two books available, if you're interested; and there's an audio interview to check out, as well.
For more eye-explodingly beautiful examples of his work, see BLDGBLOG's earlier posts. But your eyes might explode. (Or click here).
