CATHERINE WAGNER: CROSS SECTIONS

Martin Venezky

Catherine Wagner’s photographs are exquisite intersections of scientific inquiry and meditative inexactitude. Her pictures sit on their pages like luminous gems in a velvet setting. The book is an oversized square with typography inset into smaller concentric squares, maintaining a quiet, steady gaze. Wagner wanted the book to flow cinematically. The cropping and pacing gently propel the reader forward without intruding on the book’s hushed tone.
