The sites he has pursued, the subjects he has discovered, and the abstract beauty he has confronted are all the more unfamiliar and disarming because of their aerial perspectives. Looking down from low-flying aircraft banking steeply over the terrain, Maisel constructs skewed landscapes that seem at times to have no horizons, no up or down, no near or far. The Lake Project documents Maisel's work around Owens Lake. This arid expanse, located just east of the Sierra Nevadas, is for the most part a desiccated bed of mineral deposits. Drained for the water needs of Southern California, it now contributes carcinogenic particles to the atmosphere during "dust events." These are not normal landscapes; there is no foreground, middle ground, or background but only the ground itself, teeming with malignant colors. David Maisel lives and works in California. This oversized book, superbly printed in color on matte Japanese art paper, is his first monograph." Signed by Author.

First Edition. Softcover. First Edition. With a Manuscript Letter Signed from artist Deborah Small laid in, dated March 26, 1979. Documents the Bathroom Site Project, a work of environmental art relating to the contemporary effort to save Mono Lake, whose reserves were steadily declining due to the city of Los Angeles draining water from the streams that fed into the lake. Small sent porcelain bricks to politicians, each brick bearing instructions on one side to place the brick in the water tank of a toilet to displace and thereby conserve a portion of the water in the tank, the other side noting "One brick in every Los Angeles toilet tank could save Mono Lake. Yet it is so much cheaper to destroy it. For the sake of that illusion, the crystal world shatters." Very Good plus in white wrappers, with a black Velo binding. Wrappers moderately foxed (see image).
